So far, no aftershocks here in Brooklyn - though on the news they said there might be some, as it's the normal thing after an earthquake. We'll see.

I think that some people in Virginia, near the epicenter, have already felt them. Again, this was according to the news reports.

They're not concerned about tsunamis, because scientists who are monitoring all this said everything was centered too far inland for any to occur.

Very unsettling (no pun intended) feeling, though.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
