7:47 AM, June 28th – The bay area just got a few little rolls from an “adorable” quake that had an epicenter just three miles to the west of the San Francisco Zoo, under the Pacific on the San Andreas Fault.
The animals at the zoo are unnerved:
“I can hear the Peacocks at the @sfzoo flipping out over the little earthquake.”
Oh well. Here it is, from the USGS:

Saint Francis of Assisi was all, “Is that what Thouest calls an Earth-Tembler Temblor, Master Andreas? Really, t’was merely a trifling. Next time, Thouest should Bring It On.”

Ha! But I don’t think that Frankie, with his superior education would have called it an Earth-Tembler[sic]. He certainly would have called it a temblor.
Frankie still loves you, despite the fact you were ig’nunt.
So noted. I’m always misquoting them monastec Friers.
Speaking of “monastec Friers”……..
What would Friar Frank think?

Taht’s canibalism!
It’s only cannibalism when you eat your own. It even has other names when you eat your honey.
