Earthquake

So the "big" earthquake happened a couple days ago. Toby knew something was up about 20 min. before I did. He started barking uncontrollably...then the entire house started shaking. I only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. We are fine and everyone I know is fine. The extent of the damage was a broken glass that I found in the cabinet. It just reconfirmed for me how exaggerated our news programs have gotten. I go a text from so many people asking if I was okay (thank you to all of you for thinking of me), but really it sounded so much worse than it really was. Maybe when we hear something on the news we should try to divided the trauma by say...10....that should make it closer to accurate.

It go me thinking... obviously it is important for us to watch the news...learn about what is going on in not just our wonderful country but the world...but are some of the reporting styles doing more harm than good?

(I kind of feel a little like Carrie from Sex and the City...lol)
