Earthquake!! 07/29/08
By Tricia Miller
Today an 5.4 earthquake struck the Chino Hills area, which is only a few miles from Wes' work in Chino and only a few more miles to my work in Rancho Cucamonga ( about 45 miles from LA) . Everyone here is ok and there was no damage (that we can tell anyhow) except for a few rattled nerves. Interestingly this earthquake was supposedly felt all the way to San Diego and Vegas. Just wanted to let everyone know that the Miller's are well.

I saw the doctor today for the final "Down the Throat" test sequence. He said it would not be much fun and he was certainly correct. The test took a long time, as painful and largely completely disgusting.
