Thanks fb! Yep, AB announced that he has a secret stash of chocolate for TEOTWAWKI. AndreaCA and I have a plan to go after it. It'll make for a great post-apocalyptic "on the road" saga.

Indonesia issues tsunami warning after Sumatra quake
Quote:
"Indonesia issued a tsunami warning on Wednesday after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off northern Sumatra.
The quake was 420 km (260 miles) southwest of Banda Aceh, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Indonesia's meterological and geophysics agency, which said the quake was 7.6 magnitude on the Richter scale, routinely issues tsunami warnings for quakes over 7 magnitude.
Local people in Banda Aceh ran away in panic from buildings after news of the quake, a witness said.
A 2004 quake off Aceh created a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people."

I'd run away too.

Yes - I rock.

When I get back - I wants my chocolate!

Thanks Sue!
Now all we have to do, for you to get chocolate, is to convince (browbeat, shame, apply social pressure to...) AB that his chocolate really, by all rights, belongs to us all.
It must be distributed for the common good.

I don't want to be common but if it means getting my entitled share of chocolate... okay. Moral relativity rules!

Tsunami warning was cancelled and there are no reports of major damage or injuries.
via Twitter:
"Indonesia government lifts tsunami warning after 7.3-magnitude earthquake off Sumatra - @Reuters"
Sometimes a little levity is good.
