Earthquake!

Did anyone else feel that awful jolt last night around 7:30? I sure did. I’m not usually freaked out by earthquakes, but last night I was working and it occurred to me that I was above an open garage, below lots of heavy pipes, and surrounded by concrete and lots of glass. Kind of shook me up ( where do these puns come from?!). My fear was of course justified when I discovered ACTUAL earthquake damage! Here it is-

Those packages might have been staged, but I really did find them on the floor ( I picked them up before realizing that it was an excellent photo opportunity).

Of course when I got home I realized what caused the earthquake.

Ridiculous amounts of grime on doggies often causes very subtle tremors which build up over time until they cause tectonic plates to shift, thus creating an earthquake. Don’t ask. It’s very complicated stuff.

See how fast they’re moving? That also makes earthquakes.

But no worries, fellow Los Angeleans, They went to the groomers today. No more earthquakes for a while.
