My Hourly Earthquakes

I live close to the University of Utah.

Life Flight and AirMed helicopters pass over my apartment complex all day long ferrying people to and from the several hospitals that are part of the University Medical Complex. They often pass low enough that they literally shake the apartment. I can feel the shaking, especially when I’m lying down in bed. It must be the air pressure generated by the rotors.

There is also a large construction project next door that has a bulldozer that constantly pushes dirt around. When the dozer is hard at work the apartment building likewise shakes. I’ve experienced real earthquakes in California and Chile. My current environment feels like one never ending earthquake.
