This week I was working in Japan and last night we had a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit about 300 km from where I was staying. The whole hotel shook and things went flying across the room. I learned about all this at breakfast because I slept through the whole thing and everyone was wondering why I didn’t go outside when it hit around midnight. I always have said that earthquakes terrify me, but since this is the second one I have slept through this year, I think I have overcome my fears.
