In the Event of a Severe Earthquake…

“In the event of a severe earthquake”, photographer Mal James said to me tonight, “put this by the side of your bed.”
Mal then proceeded to put a bottle of water between the bed and the side table.
He told me to roll off the bed and tuck in close to it if rumbling woke me up. He said if the ceiling comes crashing down, I’ll be able to reach the water. He then put my crank flashlight next to the water, and then walked around to the other side of the bed and put a bottle of water on the floor next to a fast asleep Amy Kellogg. Good guy.

I woke up this morning to find two power bars too.
