Been a busy week.
Yesterday morning went to the commune to change my residence…Found out that my vespa had expired tags, and then went to ACI (the automotive agency thing) to pay for 2 years worth. Had a low tire, so had to get some air…Always a crappy day when you have to be so productive before you even get to work.

Today the trucks are on strike (see subject for the Italian explanation), so there are no gas stations open. My alimentari (small store) is a bit empty…I guess we’re all hoarding now ;).
and….today there was an earthquake. I guess it was about a richter 5, but it was a couple hundred kilometers away…We only felt it for about 10 seconds, but it’s always fun and a bit surreal. It’s been a few years since I’ve been through one…My thoughts immediately turned to a tsunami…I’ve got an escape route planned if it ever happens at home (The plan is…drive with the sea at my back and nose towards the mountain – I’m really clever), but since I was at the office there was no tsunami fear…
