Re: Without seeming contentious

When I was first married, my then husband used to fence and kept his
foils hanging on the wall in our bedroom.  We lived in San Francisco.
 Probably 3 times a week, I'd hear those things clanking together in
the night.  At first it was unsettling, but you soon get used to it. 
Minor quakes are part of life if you live in a quake prone
area...it's the big daddies that make you real nervous.
