When we moved to the Promise Land (didn't Bill Shatner film those awful margarine ads here?) we lived in an apartment not 100 yards from the tracks for the local abortive attempt at Commuter Rail. At night freight trains would come juddering through at sustained speeds. The whole apartment shook slightly from the train's passage.
One evening I was camped out on the couch and the apartment gave a few seconds of the Caltrain Shimmy. But it was quiet out. So I turned on the TV and listened to the suddenly grave and soulful newscritters describe the quake and show Precious Video of their track lights jiggle. Right over their overinsured, epoxy-coiffed heads.
