Mary called. 5″ rain sine Friday at their house but no flood over my garden at Terradise. Kathi called about earthquake.
Our work interrupted for 60 sec by a 5.2 earthquake at 8:51 AM this morning – and on Los Angeles 200th birthday! No damage but an eeire felling with everything shaking & the draperies undulation. Aunt Ruth hanging up clothes in the yard didn’t feel it.
Got 33 pages done – up to W, Hildreth IV – I feel some resentment any time I have consolidated repititious material! – But it is going well.
Aunt Ruth turns out tasty meals at 7:30 – 12 noon & 5:45. This fits in with TV weather reports. Mary called. 5.2″ rain since last Fri but no flood at Terradise. Kathi called – Larry knocked $300 off for tail pipe & speedometer & they have the truck at home.
