Earthquake

[Brandt Eppler]

>From the 5th. floor of the National Computer Center, Social 
Security Administration Woodlawn MD. Build shook like crazy!!

People were looking around asking what to do. I said "Get out 
now"

We did and went home!

Nothing unusual there.  It's like the quiet spots in a wave 
interference pattern if you did those experiments in high school 
physics.  A steady 15+ second shake in Kearny NJ -- subjectively 
felt somewhat stronger than some heavier quakes I experienced in 
California.  But a quake doesn't feel the same when most of it 
happens before you wake up, as usually seemed to be the case out 
there.

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable 
game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the 
perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being 
involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a 
pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a 
Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who _smiles all the 
time_.
