Bibs & bobs.

There was a string quartet busking in the Montgomery station this morning. They were playing "La Bamba". This had me laughing all the way up the escalator to street level. Sometimes I love this city.

Less laugh-inducing was the 4.7 quake near Gilroy this morning. Torgi woke up funkyplaid, but I slept right through it. Did anyone else feel it? If you did, report it to the USGS - they collect that data to study how far earthquake waves move.

I am working the EPA Spill Phone this morning. Usually, this is a very boring duty but during the World Cup it's pretty cool because there are two televisions in the Spill Phone Center. One is tuned to CNN, one to Telemundo. England v. Trinidad this morning. One of the EPA folks told me that a Trinidadian distillery has offered the team's players an extra incentive - if they beat England, each one of them will win a barrel of rum.

I miss la chica something fierce.

I read the subject line as Bibs & Boobs. Am I the only one?

They still play Muzak in a lot of stores in Japan, but it's often Muzak pop or rock music. Every once in a while I'll suddenly realize I'm shopping to "Love is a Battlefield" or "The Immigrant Song."

I see by the comments that I wasn't the only boob who misread. ;)
