Earthquake!!! (not actually worthy of three exclamation points)

Last night, around 11:15, there was a 4.1 earthquake in the ocean about 60 miles south of here. It was one of those cool and interesting (and, assumingly, devestating, given enough force) quakes where everything simply moves sideways for a moment.  Here, it was weak enough for me to not immediately realize it was a quake, but strong enough for me to think something might be seriously wrong with the yurt. After a moment to consider the situation, I decided to check the USGS website, and sure enough, 4.1.

Long story short: the yurt was a-rockin', but no one was knockin'.
