in the words of Isoroku Yamamoto

"I fear I have awoken a sleeping dragon"

Or I have been told that I have at least.

Earlier today there was a nice earthquake, bigger than the one before that lots of people

felt.

It was a good 4.4, enough to wake a person sleeping soundly to wake up.

I woke up at the primary wave, thats the first jolt that hits just before the rest of the earthquake

arrives, and just as I looked at my clock, it started. It was like 4 in the morning andI was scared of

this one to tell you the truth. We are all waiting for "the big one" and at every earthquakes

start that

is what rolls through ones mind "is this gunna be it?" "is this the big one?" So It didnt really build

up, it was here and then gone. But I couldnt get back to bed cuz I was like "omg, what if it is just

a fore shock and the big un is coming latter?" I just stayed in bed all "shaken" waiting...

Anyway, there is more I need to say but it can wait, I need to get to bed so lets cover the

important stuff.

So a reader and fellow Hockey enthusiast HB9 felt the same quake and was awoken from

a sound sleep as I was. Rather than just calling it part of the experiences we share as crazy

Californians and getting on with life he has decided to say that my blog post on quakes

a while back has "awoke the sleeping dragons" and he is holding ME "personally responsible"

for both the quake and his early wake up call. So this is my personal apology.

Dearest California, both inhabitants and the state,

It has come to my attention that the "great" quake of 4am on the 16th of March the year of our

lord 2010 was entirely of my doing and that plate tectonics had nothing to do with it, it was

simply a ripple in the crust of our great earth caused by the words of me and me alone.

It has also been expressed to me that some of California's citizens were disturbed by said

quake and I would like to extend my deepest apologies to those who were and would like

to send thanks to those who were but chose to keep their mouths shut.

To the state of California, I would like to let you know that I respect the stress that is put

upon you everyday by your many faults however It would be appreciated if you do not release

this stress upon your inhabitants when you are reminded that said stress exists by idiotic

bloggers like my self. I believe I speak for California as a whole when I say. We would like

to live on a still, non rattling California, and that we would like it very much if you did not

toss us out of bed with quakes of any magnitude.

Thank you my fair state for your understanding and compliance, and thank you to the

hard working citizens for accepting my apologies for accidentally awakening California's

great faults. California, I wish you a peaceful sleep and I hope you will provide me with the

same every night for years to come.

Arent I cute when I get diplomatic? Tyler for governor!

So thats good enough eh? that aught to keep us safe for long enough and keep me

out of the line of blame.

At school they were all "OMG!! We gunna die! if an earthquake happens today!"

I was like "wow ray of sunshine" Speaking of sunshine! It hit 85 F aboot 29 degrees

C for our "Canadium" friends. Love it, Shorts and t-shirt and flip flop weather,

feels so good to hit the rink weather, so glad I play ice and not outdoor roller weather,

BEACH weather. Man its great but come sunday its gunna be like 60 degrees, and to me

thats like at least light jacket weather, when it gets to anything in the 50s I start wearing pants.

Seasons are only observed in Ca so we can exist with the rest of the USA they dont really

mean anything (seeing its in the 80s in what is still technically winter)

Alright, bed for me now!
