some how it always amazes me to think about living in a place where they don't prepare for earthquakes. i got a profound sense of that when i visited washington d.c. i looked around and thought "how come all these old buildings haven't fallen down yet? none of them are reinforced or anything." that's just how i think, even though i know that there is no need in places like that. i could move to a state that's never had a single earthquake in it's existence, and i'd still be bolting my bookshelves to the wall. it's automatic.
