gridlore103 years ago today, the San Andreas Fault groaned, then stretched, then snapped.
What the quake didn't destroy, fires did. By the time the dust and smoke had settled, close to 60% of the city had been destroyed. We rebuilt. Because when you live in paradise, you accept the occasional earth-shattering kabooms.
83 years later, as the Bay Area settled in to watch Game 3 of the World Series between the Giants and the A's, we were reminded that we live on Terra Infirma.
I was going to post the Grateful Dead doing California Earthquake, but guess what? A 20 year old fan video of a show featuring a band that's not technically active anymore doing a public domain song has been taken down for "copyright violations."
Feh.
