Got Goat Milk????
Im jealous of C man too....cept I think my grass might be greener at the moment*So Jealous*
Not in LA, it's centered in the La Habra/Brea area, a good 25-30mi from LA proper. My old stompin' grounds. I've mapped it down to businesses and homes. Got a discussion going in the La Habra FB page, a lot of folks are pretty rattled.Y'all feel that Quake in La?? Be safe California!
We have our first baby chick!! Discovered yesterday around 5pm, I'd gone out to see to the chickens and double check my brooding hen. Found her under the nest box and sure enough, heard a little peeper. Had to grab the hen to put her back on the nest because there are 7 other eggs that need to be brooded still, and when I grabbed her oh my GOD did she curse me up a STORM! And the little peeper bolted, of course right out of the broody pen and between my legs, I thought I was gonna step on it or it was going to end up being caught by the other hens and pecked to death, which would have sucked ass because the granddaughter was standing right there.
She keeps saying she wants to hold it, and I keep telling her, "YOU go ahead and get it out from under that hen!" She hasn't quite got the moxie for it yet.
I'd be on peeper

What's freaking me out is that I didn't realize that there's a fault that runs damn near right underneath my parents' house (that they're putting on the market), it's the Elsinore fault, Whittier zone or something like that. The quakes are on an unmapped or unknown fault that's directly perpendicular to the Elsinore fault. Put that together with what some geologists are saying (that these may be precursor quakes, not *the* quakes) and there may be a HELL of a quake on its way. I've asked my folks to double check their emergency supplies and not let ANYONE sleep in the rooms that are adjacent to their old brick double-fireplaces (when the house was built back in '42 they built a single huge chimney/fireplace thing, with an indoor fireplace and an outdoor fireplace that's now enclosed).
My dad was kinda blowing me off yesterday until I got him to make the appropriate selections on the USGS map, and then he got really quiet.
See, he and my mom also own a property in a desert area called Flamingo Heights, it's very close to a small town called Yucca Valley. Yucca Valley lies north of Palm Springs and south of Twenty-nine Palms. My folks' place is accessible via Old Woman Springs Road. It was discovered after the Landers quake of '91 that Old Woman Springs Road, the only road you can take out to a HUGE swathe of desert, IS an earthquake fault.
They had my boys out at their place for that quake, and my mother tells me that my father lost his gourd. He was sleeping with the boys when it hit, and she said he kept hollering, "This is it! It's the end of the world!" My kids were something like 3 & 7yo. At the time the quake hit, my ex-husband and I were at a public radio station out in Burbank, and we felt it strongly.
I was living in east San Diego county during the Northridge quake, and I felt it while I was getting ready for work. My oldest boy has been through every major So Cal quake since Whittier Narrows (we lived in Uptown Whittier for that one, oh boy that one was lovely), so for him they're practically amusement rides. Not for his mom!
