I interupt this blogging absence to report that I experienced my first
earthquake this morning.

(The dots are where people reported feeling tremors.)
It woke us up at about 5am this morning--a whopping 3.6. I know it's piddly compared to those on the West coast, but it doesn't take much to excite us Easterners. Blizzards, hurricanes, earthquakes--see all that the DC area has to offer?
