Anybody in LA feel that? QUAKE!

[BeHereNow]

Small rolling quake just now...
Yikes.
I was going to bed just now and BOO, it hit ever so lightly.
Hope it's not a precursor of a bigger one!

1. I felt it.

Am in Ventura County and it felt minor here.

[BeHereNow]

3. Minor here too- but still spooky. I've been thinking about them all the time lately.

We are over due.
BHN:scared:

[cui bono]

5. shhhh....

tiny voices...

or you'll jinx us.

[cui bono]

2. Yeah! Silverlake area...

Decent little jolt. Nothing to make me get up out of my chair though.

I've felt others like this before with nothing else. Somewhere I have a link to a geological site where you can report what you felt and it tells you by zip code how many people reported. Do you know of it?

[BeHereNow]

6. Yeah, I think I have it in my bookmarks somewhere.

I'm just on the other side of Griffith Park from you-
land of the horses.
You know it?
BHN

[cui bono]

Yeah... near the equestrian center? n/t

[BeHereNow]

22. Yep! We should have lunch sometime.

We had a DU gathering there a few years ago- at the Mexican joint
at the entrance to the center.
VIVA FRESH!
I was there tonight!
BHN

[cui bono]

24. Let's do it! I have a 50% off certificate for there!

Is it good?

[BeHereNow]

26. Depends on what you order...I can help you avoid the not so good dishes though.

I'm pretty open right now, so I will PM you with my #
BHN

[cui bono]

29. Okay... cool!

[BeHereNow]

I look forward to it!
Give me a call tomorrow and we'll pick a day.

BHN

[BeHereNow]

33. Welcome to DU neighbor...come join us for lunch at Viva Fresh.

Cui Bono and I are going to hook up there-

BHN

[thund3rbox]

35. Yum!

For sure, haven't been there in awhile, but have gone with co-workers for lunch. Would love to meet some DU folks.

[cui bono]

36. Yeah, join us!

And Welcome to DU!

[BeHereNow]

38. I think we are in the midst of instigating a DU get together...Heh- fine by me!

I loves me DUer pals.
I'll call NSMA and invite her too, when we pick a day-
BHN

[BeHereNow]

50. We picked this coming Tuesday, 1:00 PM if you want to join us...

Entrance to the Equestrian Center- you know the joint...
Hope you can make it.
Just look for the table with the gorgeous DU women and
so far, one guy.
BHN:hi:

[shance]

BHN

[piesRsquare]

7. I used to live around/near that area

I lived in Los Feliz.

Miss it...

[cui bono]

11. It's changed a lot. In a pretty good way, thankfully.

Lots of new businesses and restaurants on Sunset Blvd. I really like it here.

[brook]

Here. 4.5 Chatsworth area

8. That's the site I was thinking of in my other post...

Report it here:

[BeHereNow]

9. Well I WAS going to bed...

And I still want to discuss our other topic tomorrow.

BHN

[LeftCoast]

13. LOL - No worries

I've lived in CA almost all my life. I know how it is after a midnight quake. :)

[cui bono]

15. Doesn't quite put you to sleep like a midnight shake does.

If you know what I mean... ;)

[SoCalDem]

10. Nope.. I feel cheated.. I always miss them

:(

[cui bono]

12. Oh you poor thing... ;)

Whereabouts are you?

[SoCalDem]

14. near Riverside.. we usually feel all of them:)

:)

[cui bono]

16. Ah... well this was 7 miles NNW of Chatsworth (NW San Fernando Valley)

[Bluebear]

17. It's 4:01 am here on the east coast, but will never forget being in the Northridge quake out there

I think that was 4:30am, so often in the middle of the night!

yish!

[yurbud]

20. how far were you from that one? I was in Hollywood and it felt like my bed was being dragged down a

flight of stairs.

[Bluebear]

40. I was in Costa Mesa and thought for all the world I was right on top of it

[yurbud]

18. I'm always disappointed when they don't get bigger. For my first, I was on 7th floor...

so I was talking on the phone, and the first thing I noticed was my clothes swaying in the closet.

[JI7]

19. didn't feel it at all, but i was kind of moving around in my chair

[yurbud]

21. problem with after shocks: is it neighbors slamming door, chair shifting, gas, or armageddon?

[shance]

23. Yep, just got back on line to check in.

I've also felt and heard some large noises around the house lately and wonder if theres a correlation. I guess you could call them booms of sorts - I just thought it was construction going on around the neighborhood.

Who knows?

[cui bono]

27. Ghosts?

;)

[shance]

28. LOL! I was always under the impression that ghosts were quiet.

Nope these were pretty significant booms which I assumed were construction, but they were enough to make me look up from what I was doing, and I had the radio on.

Again, who knows?

[Goat or Panic]

25. 4.5

Granada Hills here. Thought someone was shaking my bed, or the cat had jumped up on it.

[Goat or Panic]

31. BTW

Nothing on tv, but I check on DU and get all the info I need. Thanks guys and good night. :) :)

41. Remember this?

Author/Artist/Singer: Mama Cass Elliot
Music Title/Track: California Earthquake
Theme ID: 4601
Album: N/A



I heard they exploded the underground blast
They say its gonna happen - gonna happen at last
That's the way it appears
They tell me the faultline runs right through here

So that maybe that may be
What's gonna happens gonna happen to me
They tell me the faultline runs right through here

Atlantis will rise, Sunset Boulevard will fall
Where the beach used to be won't be nothing at all
That's the way it appears
They tell me the faultline runs right through here

So that maybe that may be
What's gonna happen's gonna happen to me
They tell me the faultline runs right through here

Instrumental

They tell me the faultline runs right through here

[shance]

42. No I had never heard or read the lyrics.

Those are interesting lyrics - they were pretty awake in the sixties were they not?

[acmavm]

43. Yep, we were wide awake and busy. My very first act of political

protest was in jr. high and a friend and I skipped school and invested in a few dozen eggs and went out to meed Barry Goldwater. We never got near the guy, and we got caught skipping school.

At one time it was right, almost expected if you had some smarts, to be politically aware. Even in junior high. At least, my friends were. I detest people who say they're 'not interested' in politics. That means they expect everyone else to carry their weight and responsibility.

[shance]

44. You know I've heard this from other friends of mine as well

who were active in the sixties. That if you weren't active, you weren't really 'with it'.

One friend told me at her university some of the fraternities got arrested for speaking out against the war. That was in California mind you.

Nevertheless there was much more active participation back then, which I'm sure the Pentagon, and other governmental entities have learned a lot from since Vietnam and those entities have worked diligently to prevent such activism again, with seemingly all sorts of mind altering conditioning and apathy inducement.

Prozac, Xanax and other meds, while helpful perhaps in some ways, can be seen as ways to simply keep people from addressing the issues staring us straight in the face.

Call me conspiratorial. However look at the reality of where we are today.

I like what you said:

"That means they expect everyone else to carry their weight and responsibility."

Sadly enough, bingo. I think that is what we are seeing now.

People who don't want to "be interested" in politics, but who are interested in consumption/consumerism of all kinds. We are conditioned from the cradle now to want immediate gratification and any and all perks and illusions which come from living in America, or the America that we used to know.

The 'Dumb downers' have done a good job buying up every single shred of the media and as such are now feeding the public sloth.

As such, seems to me we have mass consumerism and a massive void/loss of activism.

Keep wondering what we can do about it?
