Quake Anniversary

Out here we have been inundated not just with rain, but with a mudslide of news about the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. Today's festivities included eleven survivors -- of the earthquake, fires, and of more than a hundred years of living -- gathering at the traditional celebratory spot of Lotta's Fountain. Given our location, it would make me feel a bit better if our house had been built in 1905 and had survived the earthquake, rather than 1915. Oh well. Whaddya gonna do?
