FYI: there are
no serious earthquakes going on at this time. whew.
And I’m in an “optional” flood zone. Not a place that requires flood insurance, but it’s optional. Nice to know, I guess. Just glad I’m on the second floor. This is rash of catastrophic thinking due to the fact that I had only [...]
