Earthquakes
Figure [1]: An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2

Michael By the way, we recently had an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2! On Saturday, September 3rd, we came home late because our friend Anne had locked her key inside, and we had to wait for some time in the bar of the Fairmont Hotel. I was still reading in bed, while Angelika was already asleep. Suddenly, the apartment started to shake, and it went on and on, certainly lasting a total of 10 seconds. Nothing broke, as the epicenter was in Yountville in Napa, where we often go for wine tastings. I calmly continued reading my book (Go West, East Germans in America, Andreas Lehmann).

With this funny story, we'll call it a day for now. Warm greetings to all of you, and tune in again when it's time for: It's Rundbrief-Time!
