In this part of the country, we’re no strangers to big storms. We’ve survived thunderstorms, wildfires, and tornados.
I personally also survived doing tornado drills in too-tight low-rise jeans. I had to cover my backside with both hands, just to make sure I didn’t give away too many of my secrets. None of which were endorsed by Ms. Victoria.
Anyway, we live right alongside an earthquake zone. The last time we had a big earthquake, we were given — by the miracles of plate tectonics — an inland sea, otherwise known as a sag pond.
Next time, I hope we get a geyser. I want to have a mini-Yellowstone. Not like the TV show — more like the national park.
I’d prefer a geyser to a volcano. I don’t think I’m ready to try to handle any kind of lava, besides a chocolate lava cake.
