Effects of Saturday\u2019s earthquake off the Northern California coast seem to have made it all the way to Canyon County. On Saturday afternoon, admittedly at the last minute, I was at the shiny new Macy\u2019s in Nampa trying to find just the right accessories to go with my outfit for that evening\u2019s Idaho Governor\u2019s Ball. <\/p>\n
I was chatting on my cell phone with a friend and ended the call right around 4:27 p.m., at which time I asked the saleswoman for assistance. As we made our way through the department, quite suddenly and unexpectedly, a purse on a table several yards in front of us fell spontaneously to the floor. No one had been touching the purses or had even been in the area recently. <\/p>\n
I made a comment to the saleswoman to the effect of, \u201cWow! That was odd. I hope it doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re having an earthquake!\u201d Unbeknownst to us was the fact that right then a 6.5-magnitude earthquake was occurring in the vicinity of Humboldt County, California, some 400 or more miles away. It drives home the idea that we really are all in this together. Best wishes to those affected by the quake for a quick and relatively easy cleanup and recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
