Acute awareness of seismic possibilities
I’ve been doing the electrician thing for a little while. I was once afraid of heights, but lighting has taken care of that with lifts, ladders and climbing up things to hang focus. I’ve done plenty of climbing up to higher places than OSHA approves without a harness for a few years in Los Angeles, but it wasn’t until last night, when our rental lift wouldn’t charge that I thought about earthquakes in relation to this habit. I’ve spent the last couple of days working at the Cathedral of our Lady of Los Angeles for the Shakespeare Festival of Los Angeles production of TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA in the courtyard and the rig is all trussing. And, we climbed it, cause what are you going to do? It wasn’t particular comfortable, and it took a little longer than we thought it might at first. We got up there and I looked out over the 101 highway and out towards lincoln heights and the Arroyo Seco and I thought, shit, if there were an earthquake we could be in deep shit… or dead. There wasn’t an earthquake AND i refrained from conversing about it until I got down.
