17. It's a colloquialism, not a spelling or punctuation error.

13. My sweet kitty was upset -
because I blamed him, and scolded him for shaking the bed! Poor thing.

12. This is the same fault line that hit Mexico on Easter. Looks like
the Quakes are trending north. If they continue to go North they will hit the Whitter Fault in LA and the Whitter Fault is capable of producing a catastrophic earthquake.

14. I am hoping that these are just part of THAT series
as they do expect some strong quakes AFTER that one. Yes even a 6.5 or two.
