Definitely Not A Possum

This is a lot off topic from art, but... last night M-Boo and I were sitting down to watch Veronica Mars when (pause for dramatic effect) we felt an earth tremor. The whole house shook. At first I thought someone or a very large and fat possum was running across our roof. M-Boo half expected someone to fall through the ceiling. Then we became quite aware that the walls were also shuddering and there was a vibration coming up from the ground up. It was my first earth tremor, so I was justly spooked by the experience.
