    [13:15] Korel Laloix: Sorry, was busy.
    [13:15] Wol Euler: no worries :)
    [13:17] Korel Laloix: Big crowd today.
    [13:17] Wol Euler: heheh
    [13:17] Korel Laloix smiles
    [13:17] Wol Euler: small but fine, as they say
    [13:17] Wol Euler: have you had a good weekend?
    [13:20] Korel Laloix: Spent most of today helping my cousins clean up their place from the Earthquate last night.
    [13:20] Korel Laloix: Nothing serious, but a bit of a mess.
    [13:20] Wol Euler: O.O
    [13:20] Wol Euler: wow, hadn'T heard about that
    [13:20] Wol Euler googles
    [13:20] Korel Laloix: Biggest earthquake in Oklahoma history.
    [13:21] Korel Laloix: Just a 5.6 I think.
    [13:22] Wol Euler: yep, 5.6
    [13:22] Wol Euler: almost a year after a 5.1
    [13:22] Korel Laloix: It was funny though....
    [13:22] Wol Euler: on october 13, 2010
    [13:22] Wol Euler: mmm?

    [13:22] Korel Laloix: Without going into details.....
    [13:23] Korel Laloix: I was right in a extreamly extreamly intencse and very personal moment when it started....
    [13:23] Korel Laloix: And when I was done shaking and the room wasnt...... lol
    [13:23] Korel Laloix: wow... what went through my head..... smiles
    [13:23] Wol Euler grins
    [13:23] Wol Euler: "the earth moved" ;)
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: In a big way....
    [13:24] Wol Euler chuckles.
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: Will remember that one for ever...
    [13:24] Wol Euler: yeah :)
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: lmbo

    [13:24] Korel Laloix: My cousins are OK though... just shelves knocked over and the like.
    [13:24] Korel Laloix: Nothing big, no one hurt.
    [13:24] Wol Euler: good
    [13:25] Wol Euler: but according to google Oklahoma gets a lot of earthquakes
    [13:25] Wol Euler: at least four last year
    [13:25] Wol Euler: all smallish
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: And you can't get earthquake insurance on mobile homes anyway, so they are OK that way.
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: Never detectable.
    [13:25] Korel Laloix: This one was... as I mentioned... smiles
    [13:26] Wol Euler grins.

    [13:28] Korel Laloix: Not sure how people live in California.
    [13:28] Wol Euler: carefully
    [13:29] Korel Laloix: I will take a tornado over and earthquate any day.
    [13:29] Wol Euler: and I can tell you, they think exactly the same of your tornados
    [13:29] Wol Euler: it's all what you are used to, I guess

    [13:29] Wol Euler: the risks you know seem less threatening than those that you don't
    [13:30] Wol Euler: example: nearly a hundred times as many people die in traffic per month as in earthquakes per year, worldwide

    [13:30] Korel Laloix: Very true.
    [13:30] Wol Euler: why do we not fear traffic?
    [13:30] Korel Laloix: OH I fear it...
    [13:30] Korel Laloix: Espescially on the bike...
    [13:31] Wol Euler nods.
    [13:39] Wol Euler: sorry, being distracted in several media :)
    [13:41] Wol Euler: hello stevie
    [13:41] Wol Euler: overshot? :)
    [13:41] stevenaia Michinaga: waves
    [13:41] stevenaia Michinaga: hi Lorel, Wol, ZOn
    [13:42] Wol Euler: had a good weekend?

    [13:43] stevenaia Michinaga: cleaning fallin limbs from last week's storm all day, heavy snow split many tree branches
    [13:43] stevenaia Michinaga: but the weather was cool and clear
    [13:43] stevenaia Michinaga: lovely to spend outside
    [13:44] stevenaia Michinaga: you not able to get any closer Zon?
    [13:44] stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    [13:44] Zon Kwan: leaving soon

    [13:47] Zon Kwan: gtg, see ya
    [13:47] stevenaia Michinaga: was thinking of Tai Chi to put the day to rest
    [13:47] stevenaia Michinaga: bye Zon
    [13:47] Wol Euler smiles.
    [13:47] Wol Euler: bye zon, take care

    [13:48] stevenaia Michinaga: how is Korel, Are yo close enough to Oklahoma to feel the earthquakes?
    [13:48] Korel Laloix: lol
    [13:48] Korel Laloix: OH yes... I felt it...
    [13:48] Wol Euler grins.
    [13:48] Wol Euler: we were just talking about that :)

    [13:48] Korel Laloix: Stil feeling the aftershocks.

    [13:49] stevenaia Michinaga: when the had the one out east I was driving and felt nothing
    [13:49] Korel Laloix: I was in the middle of .... private moment when it hit... was very memorable... smiles
    [13:49] Wol Euler smiles.

    [13:52] Korel Laloix: My cousins down in Prage though had a lot of small damage.
    [13:52] Korel Laloix: Things off of shelves.
    [13:53] Korel Laloix: One mobliehome off the blocks.
    [13:53] stevenaia Michinaga: wow
    [13:53] Korel Laloix: Wtih cracked plumbing.
    [13:53] Korel Laloix: No one hurt though.
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: For Oklahoma, it was a big deal.
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: The aftershocks still are.
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: But barely feelable now.

    [13:54] stevenaia Michinaga: don;t remember one there ever
    [13:54] Korel Laloix: If that is a word.

    [13:55] Korel Laloix: We have small ones allt he time.
    [13:56] Korel Laloix: Just very slight.

    [13:58] Wol Euler: well, I never knew that
    [13:59] Wol Euler: I thought the midlands were stable, geologically speaking

    [13:59] stevenaia Michinaga: I thought the East coast was, until it wasn't :)
    [13:59] Wol Euler laughs.
    [13:59] Wol Euler: true enough
    [14:02] Wol Euler: thought that surprises me less, because the east coast has mountains

    [14:02] Wol Euler: earthquakes are the birthpains of mountains :)

    [14:03] Wol Euler: oh, it#s time for Bert's meditation
    [14:03] stevenaia Michinaga: old mountains relative to west coast
    [14:03] stevenaia Michinaga: I may join you
    [14:03] Wol Euler: goodnight, take care, be safe and happy
    [14:03] stevenaia Michinaga: bye Korel
    [14:04] Korel Laloix: ciao
