Carnegie Science Center Story #2
Nathan was fascinated by the trains, but he smiled the broadest at natural disaster.
There is, at the Science Center, an earthquake simulator as part of the "Natural Forces" exhibit. It's a little cafe booth that you sit down in and choose your own earthquake (San Francisco, Chile, Australia). It then shakes and rumbles and rocks. The lighting fixture rocks back and forth, but nothing falls on you. Dave and I got in with Nathan and fired up a 7.8 quake. Though choruses of "Never, never, never shake your baby" were running through my mind, Nathan was smiling ear to ear and enjoying the ride.
I guess even though he was conceived and born in the Keystone State, there is Californian in him, nonetheless.
