Those were the days...
- The Wellingtonista
- From the newly relaunched NZ History website comes this wee gem from Today in History (actually, next week's Monday, but I couldn't wait to post it)... Two Wellington lawyers, W.V. Brewer and H.

Didja feel that one?
- The Wellingtonista
- Well, did you? More info once every other man and his dog stops hammering the GeoNet website. Update. Well, there ya go: a 4.8 shake, focal point 50km deep, 30km west of {Porirua}, out in Cook Strait. A decent rattle. (And if you did feel it, report your experience here. Do your bit for science.)
