Watch out for earthquakes

In which I call rushthatspeaks, because it's an autumn-bright afternoon in Harvard Square and I love them.

Rush's phone: *rings*

No one picks up; I keep on walking down Mass. Ave.

My phone: *rings*

Rush-That-Speaks: Sorry, I missed your call because of the earthquake.

It seems to have done things in odd patterns-- I'm in Reston, which is a lot closer to the epicenter than you guys, and we got a rumble and vibrations which initially made me think somebody was doing construction in the basement of the building I was next to. And no damage, nothing down, all businesses open and as usual.

Then, since Reston was being completely as though nothing had happened, I went into D.C. to meet family for dinner. MISTAKE.

...Yeah. I'm sorry about that epic journey through the center of the earth. It took me two and a half hours to get from Alexandria to the end of the red line, and that was with leaving half an hour early because I knew that pooch was tidily screwed, forgive my colloquialism.
