Yes, I felt that. That was a *long* one.

P.S. I was, honestly, in the middle of sending in my writing assignment of the month. I was typing the e-mail. The moral of this story: deadlines cause earthquakes.

...and earthquakes cause the Internet to disconnect.

At least, here in Hawaii, they do.

Windstorms, bad enough rainstorms, whatever. Our Internet provider is robust (hardly ever any downtime), yet all forms of electric power are vulnerable in the event of natural phenomena that would not cause a blip in the Bay Area. This is because the Big Island is a giant lava rock and you can't bury cables underground. So everything is up on poles. Most houses have three wires: phone, electric, and cable/internet.

To complicate matters, we have albizia trees growing all over Puna District. These are alien invaders from the Phillipines and Africa that grow rapidly and propagate at an alarming rate. Once they gain a foothold, they can quickly choke out the lovely, indigenous ohia trees (very slow growers). Albizias are qute brittle, too, and a falling limb can easily take down a power line. Imagine something akin to eucalyptus where you are, but maybe ten times worse.

Back to your theory, though. Hmmm. If deadlines cause earthquakes, I wonder if eating Cheddar can prevent them? ;-)

No, sorry, it was actually my fault. Measuring for furniture is what actually causes earthquakes.
