Small world! When I first moved to the IE, I lived in Perris. Do you remember the billboards on the 215: "$500 moves you in!"? I bought one of those houses.

Actually, after closing, they paid me $75! I'm up near the national cemetery off Van Buren now. And I don't roll out of bed unless an earthquake is at least a 6.0.

One day at work, we had a small earthquake...maybe a 3. I kept teaching.

My husband, who was working as the vice principal for the day, had to kick me and my class out to the fields to complete the emergency procedures. He's never let me live it down. I maintain my lesson was more important.
