Alias Smith and Jones

Anyone notice the names of the two new U.S. Senators?

And anyone in the area feel the 4.4 in Berkeley at 2:40 AM? I'm 50 miles away, so it was a little dampened here, and I would have slept through it, as B. did, but I happened to be up, and it was certainly noticeable even at this distance.

It woke me up in San Bruno at 2:40AM. John slept through it. I don't know how he could, our windows were rattling along with the whole room shaking and a couple of our dresser drawers slid open! He probably thought it was the cat.

Woke us up in Oakland but good. But nothing seemed to shake loose, no car alarms, etc.

Also woke up my out-of-town New Yorker friend in his rented apartment in Berkeley, who got up, stood in a doorway, and then got dressed in case he needed to leave the apartment.

Me, I never even got out of bed (though perhaps I should have).

Depending on what's surrounding your bed, your safest course on an earthquake finding you there may be to put the pillow over your head.

Yep, felt it in San Leandro.
