In 1989, a few days before I was to start a new job near Oakland, CA, I was swimming in my pool in San Jose, when the Loma Prieta earthquake, centered about 10 miles away, sloshed lots of water and me pretty good! From then on, my commute was rerouted around the collapsed highway section 50 miles distant, a few blocks away from my new employer. A few years later, while attending a Structured FM-SGML Developer's class on the 8th floor of Adobe's corporate HQ, a (what us Californians would call "small") quake shook us. Some students who had come long distances from places in the country where quakes are only "on the news," were genuinely agitated. The solution was to bring in the refreshment cart and take a break. Then, getting back to class materials, the instructor put up the next unit, which began with the familiar FM training curriculum article, "The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake!" Arrgh! Calm went out the window for a few extra beats. (Maybe margaritas then would have helped.) _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
