Well folks... interesting day today. On my way to work and for some reason there was lots of traffic, lots of police around my house - no idea why. As I entered the interstate, there were more police and what appeared to be rush hour traffic - but at 1130AM? Crazy! Anyway, it turned out to be a funeral procession. Then as I pulled into the parking center garage at work, set the e-brake, and turned off the car and noticed the car was still moving! Sometimes, my e-brake is loose especially if I park on hills. But this was flat parking and I couldn't figure out why the car was still moving - and the vehicles around me were also moving. Only lasted a few seconds. Didn't think anything of it.
Went to work and everyone was running out the doors, talking all animatedly. Still couldn't figure it out until I saw the television in the office. Earthquake. Hmmm. That wasn't so scary - kinda cool. Luckily, no one got hurt. The epi-center was alittle over an hour drive away. 5.4 magnitude.
So this has been the second earthquake for me while in SoCal. The first one was last fall when I had roommates. It had woken me up but I thought my roommates' cat kicked me. I think that one was 2.5 magnitude or something like that.

bike night
Been having a great time riding around SoCal on my bike. Took a few pics. Ended up going to a bike night at a local restaurant.
West Hollywood
Malibu in the early morning. No people on the beach yet!
Bike night at Ricky & Ronnie's (a 50's themed restaurant). About 100 bikes showed.
One of the bikes at bike night - skull air filter on a 100 year anniversary road king.
Lots of towns next to each other. Went above to a hill to take a pic of refinery row - there are 6 oil refineries.
Ride out to Hell's Kitchen off of Highway 74.
Weekends are generally my ride day. There's getting to be lots of new bikers on the road due to the cost of fuel. Now instead of crazy automobile drivers, there are more crazy motorcyclists on the road.
