One minute your thinking about a second cup of coffee and then next minute the world blows up.
Thanks be to God that there wasn't extensive loss of life.

Snagged this from The New York Times today. Someone's bike outfitted for the season/environment.

This reminds me of Anchorage in 1964. I was living in Los Angeles, but the quake made the national news big time. Of course, Californians are kind of sensitive about earthquakes, too ... .

Fixing the roads, at least temporarily, will be relatively simple. Wait a week or so for the aftershocks to stop, fill the holes in with stone and gravel, and apply a little water. Instant rock-hard pavement!

Anchorage is built on a Bog, so it can move a lot like a bowl of Jello.... "unconsolidated" . Filled in with sediment..

Actually a lot of it is swamp/marsh. C street from N.L.s to International has around eight feet of fill from Spenard to the Seward Highway. Hauling gravel was bib business here.
