I have been through a LOT of quakes in my life. This one lasted a little longer, but from here in south central it was not as sharp, it did not have a “roar” to it that the ones you are closest to have.
So we went to a friend of a friend’s house to see the OvationTV documentary Jeff Koons: Beyond Heaven. Well, long story short, the DirectTV package he had didn’t include the channel (or we were not doing something right in a half-hour of troubleshooting).

Snoop was 14 and my brother’s dog before he moved and we took over his ninety-year-old house here South of Central Downtown in Huntington Park. My brother had to put her to sleep, she was in a lot of pain and the doctor said that the $5,000 cancer surgery wouldn’t guarantee that she would live …
