On the lighter side...

I don't mean to make light of a natural disaster...but I found this to be quite interesting:

Maybe our doctors need to look into creating a studio for recreating the earthquake experience for those of us that are SSD?!   :)

Interesting article!  We had some of the earthquake here in West Virginia.  My husband said the blinds in his office were shaking and he could feel it on the floor.  Where I teach in the country, we did not feel it.  I did not even know there was an earthquake until my husband called!  I don't think it would have helped my SSD.   :)
