Several people have asked me about the recent earthquake in Indonesia that made the news around the globe. Thanks for your concern. We live in Sanur on the edge of Denpasar in Bali. The quake was 1200 miles away in the ocean and affected the Philippines too. Indonesia has more active volcanos and earthquakes than anywhere, maybe than everywhere else added up. I checked on a volcano/earthquake report site.
During the past 7 days, Indonesia was shaken by 1 quake of magnitude 6.0, 3 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0, 32 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 75 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 49 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0.
Biggest quake: 6.0 quake Philippine Sea, Indonesia, Dec 5, 2021 8:47 am (GMT +9) 1 day 16 hours ago
Biggest quake today: 4.5 quake Molucca Sea, 86 km southeast of Gorontalo, Indonesia, Dec 6, 2021 5:33 am (GMT +8) 18 hours ago
Most recent quake: 4.3 quake Flores Sea, 88 km north of Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, Dec 6, 2021 10:24 pm (GMT +8) 1 hour 16 minutes ago
Fifty years ago today, Shunryu Suzuki died. I'm most grateful for his teachings - both Zen and nonZense. - dc
Forgot to post this yesterday - she's there now.
So Katrinka's now somewhere in the air way up between Doha and San Francisco, maybe going over the North Pole at this time or near it. Dogette Bandita and guest dogettetina Bumble ( who we all call Bumbu) are staying close to me, very close. I'm sitting on the couch typing with legs crossed and a while ago Bandi was on my left, Bumbu on my right, and feline Kucita was on the couch armrest to my left right next to Bandi. I made a video to post here but they were too close and it was not successful. Bandi isn't sitting by the gate for days waiting for her I guess because she'd getting used to this yearly abandonment, because she went to the airport and saw Katrinka walk off with a porter pushing a cart with her bags, or maybe because it's raining a lot. Nice to have such uncomplicated company.
