The Earth moved

     Some time after 1:00 p.m. today, I was lecturing in my Philosophy 2 (Ethics) course, yammerin' about our foolishness re earthquakes and such. Then, at 1:30, my students seemed suddenly to be highly entertained, in a wide-eyed sort of way, by something ("not me," I thought).
     Eventually, they told me that we'd just experienced a goshdarned earthquake—I must've been levitating at the time—caused by the usual tensions between sections of earthy crustiness.
     Alternatively, the Lord was briefly peeved about all that pious buggery and feculent caterwauling over in Tampa, Florida, and took it out on Yorba freakin' Linda. That's how He rolls, it seems.
