Took Gracie no time to break one of the Halloween decorations. Went to light everything up and noticed only a couple lights on the witch's broom were on. It had fairy lights wrapped around from top to bottom. Upon further inspection,
good thing the wire wasnt live and connected to an outlet

:lol:im wondering if these minor dinky quakes in california are caused from the lack of rain we have here as in the earths crust is getting too dried out. like how when a pond or large puddle dries out and the mud starts cracking at the bottom:headscratch:im aware of tetonic plates shifting that cause the major quakes:oops:random thought found in a cup of cold brew from starbucks:lol:

Well if that is true, then Iowa could follow suit in having quakes as well. As it has been extremely dry for the last month and a half.

A little zap might have learned her quicker to not chew on it. I ended up pulling off the battery box and unwrapping the rest of the lights and throwing them out. Of course, Gracie was "helping" and still trying to chew on the lights as I was taking them off.

i dont think it would have taught her anything my graycie has chewed multiple cordless phone charger cords probably on par with sticking a 9 volt battery to your tongue in terms of zap. "Gracie was "helping" and still trying to chew on the lights as I was taking them off."it must be the shared name:lol:

She has also chewed through the DirecTV wires too. Didn't realize it until I was returning the box because my son never watches TV in his room. We blame the orange fur for her misbehavior. Must be that because Boone is a complete angel so it can't be genetics. :lol:

Think your state needs to be in drought status a few years with high temps probably
We have mini quakes here in NY, but ours mostly are caused by the decompression and rebound of the rock layers from the millions of tons (billions?) of ice that once covered most of NY to a depth of a mile or more during the last Ice Age, which ended roughly 10- 12,000 years ago. We have a few fault lines here and there, but nothing like Cali.

I did read that the fairly serious quakes in Texas are caused by pumping waste water from fracking back into the ground, destabilizing it. Any fracking in CA?

Of course, Gracie was "helping" and still trying to chew on the lights as I was taking them off.
"IF NOT FOR CHEWS, for why is covered in sparkle???"

Lots on my mind in these turbulent times.
My heart goes out to all humans and other species in areas dealing with war and natural catastrophes.
Thinking of you all in the US. I wish you all strength, safety and much luck that you‘re not battered by yet another storm.
I just wish we humans could all be compassionate and kind to each other and their environment and understand that together we all are one. These natural catastrophes highlight the fact that independent of species, race, religion or culture we have one major issue in common namely we all share this beautiful earth as our home and crave and need the feeling of safety and security to flourish. If the planet doesn‘t play along, life is devestated.
Prayers and well wishes to you all in Florida from here in Germany. 🙏
