"Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way." -Frank Costanza

[EDIT 30 Nov.] Seinfeld and earthquakes aren't really related. I tried, and it just seemed ackward. Let Frank Constanza stand alone, I suppose.

But I still hate earthquakes, and poor choices that make them potentially more dangerous. As far as my inner ear indicates we haven't had much of a quake for about the past two or three months. I don't know if that pause indicates a coming era of peace and calm or one of growing geological tension and eventually doom. Let's hope for the first, for Japan's sake.
