This morning I awoke to New Zealand earthquake news from perl-mongering twitterfriend @br3nda:
She said it only "wobbled a few ornaments on the book shelf here," but her Wellington friend @doublesided was unhappily swaying to the tremblors on the ninth floor of a ten-story building.
The quake was, as @br3nda said in the offhand way that I would have referred to the National Weather Service, on the drums (Geonet New Zealand's "Seismograph Drums" Web page -- clipped image at right).
Geonet New Zealand's home page indicated that @br3nda's quake had a magnitude of 4.6 -- altogether nontrivial if it had occurred here in comparatively earthquake-unprepared Raleigh, N.C.
Birdsong wells up outside, obscuring the Sunday urban background noise.
If the earth trembles beneath my feet this morning, it will find me bicycling on a park trail.
