So I missed yesterday’s earthquake. I was on an airplane, descending into LaGuardia with 2 out of 3 Frank kids, when it happened. The taxi driver into the city was very excited about the whole thing, but we felt nothing. Back at the shop, I was told the bottles jingled a bit but nothing fell of the shelves. We appear to be much better at breaking bottles than an earthquake, at least a 5.9 earthquake.
