I'm suprised you haven't drawn a scale on your wall, or table top, or
ceiling to make your chandelier a good siesmometer.....I recall reading
a story about submariners who hung a pendulum to measure the distance

USGS says it was a 6.5 and centered in Cambria, halfway to LA from you.

That is my 8th post today. Conversation now shifting to extro-freedom,
