I have some upstairs nieghbors. Let's just leave it that they recycle apple pie tins for hats.
Earlier this evening a reported ( big yawn) 3.1 earthquake was reported WAAAAAY to the east of us.
Within minutes I hear bambambambambam as hurried footsteps shook the stairwell. I saw my nieghbors running past my window with sleeping bags, lanterns, the cheap tent retrieved from the dumpster.
I hear snippets of conversation ' This is one of the signs in the Mayan prophecies, and right on time!'
I watched as they set camp on the grass commons ( the grass that has an automatic sprinkler system timed for midnight.)
The news updated a few minutes ago. I'm expecting reports of alarms set off. No, it seems the monitoring station had a equipment glich that created a false reading.
Should I walk out and tell them?
