Mysteries

Yesterday while chatting with [livejournal.com profile] telophilos, the earth start trembling. It was three in the Mercali scale. The Mercali scale measures the results of an earthquake, such as the shaking and damage that people actually feel and see (at level 3 many people feel the movement, parked cars may rock). What did I felt?. Not much, a little movement, in fact I continue chatting.

Today the local news are full of calling to kept calm, that this has nothing to do with Japan earthquake.

Coming from the "hard" sciences [livejournal.com profile] autumnmist, you could laugh aloud . There are some common knowledge facts, for us Chilean people, that Scientifics always deny.

1. If there is a quake at Japan it will tremble in Chile. They say there is no correlation, but believe me: Always happens.
2. If there is a quake, even a little one, climate changes. My beloved friend Marcelo, who is a geographer gets nuts with this idea. Just explain me: Why did yesterday and the day before was cloudy and pouring and today - after the tremble - the day is sunny?
3. Little kids and farm animals felt the rain in their bodies, they always start being restless before it rains. But on Monday I was near to madness, my kids were in a mood. Couldn't control them. Then it rains, and everything went into the right path again.

Eclipse

I am glad that you remembered the eclipse tonight. I thought that if anyone would, you would. It was beautiful. I am glad that I was able to share this powerful moment across the miles with you.
