As you might have noticed, due to the fanfare around The Big Rumble, last Saturday was the 20th Anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Not to get to preachy about the whole thing, but are you prepared?
If anyone reading this does not know how to shut off their gas, please let me know and I will come show you or at least explain it on the phone.
