Two authentic LA experiences this weekend. The first was watching a TV show on Friday (Numb3rs, a show which has a mathematician as a central character who actually talks and acts like a mathematician (well, except the details of the maths)) and gradually realizing that it was filmed in and around a house two streets over from ours, on the Venice canals.
The second was a large THUMP yesterday afternoon. "Damn neighbours," I said, then turned on the radio to hear the announcer report a magnitude 3.1 earthquake nearby. There was another one a few hours later, which was more intense here, though slightly weaker at the epicenter.
