just a time from now

I heard about the snow, seems wrong to give spring and then take it back again. Actually my first memory is of an earthquake, I was a couple of yeas old, and I remember it clearly. The worst was the '89 Loma Preleta.(spelling?) My normal 30 min. drive home from work took three hours over wracked out freeway and with bumper to bumper traffic. It was surreal. From where I worked, on the edge of the SF bay, we could see the Marina in San Francisco burning, although we didn't know that's where it was just then. I had just moved out of the Marina a couple of months before. We had to go there a week or so later to help a friend move out, and the place was nearly unrecognizable. My life is dotted by earthquakes. It's tornadoes that freak me out.
