I dined with my father here, dare I say decades ago, and now it was time for Austin to do the same. As a young girl, I remember being charmed by the ancient atmosphere of Botin, where time seemed to have stood still.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the typical sight of Jamon Serrano being thinly sliced and plated. This delicacy of cured pork is similar to its Italian cousin Prosciutto, but every Spaniard would argue that it is far superior. Also on display are the popular thick white asparagus spears, considered a highly prized culinary delicacy in Spain.

Furthering my trip down memory lane, I ordered Fresas con Nata, strawberries with whipped cream. When in Spain as a child I used to order strawberries with every meal. There is just something unexplainably delicious about Spanish strawberries, they just taste more delicious. And the cream does too.

After Orange County is a publication dedicated to living life in the slow lane. I escaped The OC for life at a higher elevation. Leaving suburbia behind, I now live in the beautiful mountain resort of Lake Arrowhead. Join me at 5,000 feet above and beyond as I cook, garden, renovate, entertain, travel and live life After Orange County.

Thirty years ago, on December 2nd, 1990, a massive earthquake was supposed to strike the New Madrid Fault in southeastern Missouri. Iben Browning, a climatologist-turned-disaster prophet who some believed had successfully predicted the Loma Prieta Earthquake the previous year, stated that there was a 50% chance of a major earthquake hitting that day. Soon, David Steward, a seismologist at Southeast Missouri State University, told the press that the prediction needed to be taken seriously, and before long many in the media took his advice. When the sun dawned across the glimmering Mississippi and over the town of New Madrid on the morning of December 2nd, dozens of satellite trucks and hundreds of reporters and photographers stood around in the small community, waiting for the world to end.

I remember these events well. I was nine years old at the time, and I remember my parents dismissing the prediction while many of the other kids and parents in my suburban St. Louis community anxiously fretted and, in some cases, made plans to stay home from work or school that day. The school bus that morning was largely empty, I recall, and several kids I expected to see get on the bus at various stops were not present when we arrived.

A few months before the predicted earthquake along the New Madrid Fault was to occur, NBC aired a prime time, made-for-TV disaster film entitled The Big One, starring Joanna Kerns (the mom on Growing Pains). In it, Kearns plays a seismologist whose warnings about a coming quake are all but ignored.

More recently, news organizations have spent a great deal of time and attention covering small anti-mask protests across the nation, while devoting comparatively fewer resources to covering the 270,000 Americans who died of COVID since March, the 86,000 patients currently hospitalized with it, and the countless physicians and nurses who care for them.

There is no doubt that a major earthquake along the New Madrid Fault would be devastating to the region. Two major metropolitan areas, St. Louis and Memphis, would be directly in its crosshairs, and if reports from the 1811 and 1812 Earthquakes are any indication, then a repeat event on the fault would do a lot more than collapse chimneys in Cincinnati and ring church bells in Boston.

Yet the New Madrid earthquake prediction inspired many people to act more rashly in response. As mentioned above, many folks stayed home from work or school. A small number even left the region, according to sociologist John Farley in Earthquake Fears, Predictions, and preparations in Mid-America. Just as the hype over the prediction drew dozens of media organizations to New Madrid, the same hysteria caused others to run for their lives.

Was their response warranted in retrospect? Certainly not. But it is equally true that St. Louisans have also underestimated other dangers. Just two and a half years later, the Great Flood of 1993 killed dozens across the region and displaced thousands. Later, in 2011, a tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, killing a staggering 161 people and shocking a region that had long treated tornado warnings with a mix of humor, annoyance, and complacency. More recently, as of this writing, COVID has killed at least 4,183 Missourians, including over 1,000 in St. Louis County. While that might seem like a drop in the statistical bucket, St. Louis County has 19 municipalities with populations of 1,000 people or less. Imagine an entire neighborhood just disappearing.

Yet COVID, unlike earthquakes, does not inspire the same kind of dread in most people, especially after nine months of living through a global pandemic. We are all tired and anxious to get back to our routines, to reunite with family and friends, to go to bars and concerts and restaurants again, to travel and take cruises and visit beaches and take so many other things for granted again. And last week, many Americans let their guard down for a day and traveled to see loved ones for Thanksgiving.

I got a freelance job as a production artist at Banana Republic right after I graduated from college. I finished school at the end of my fall semester in 1983, and I literally started work that first week of January. I had shopped at the BR store on Polk Street, so I thought it was a cool gig. I remember they had five stores at the time, because I had to do the different versions of the little banner that ran on the top corner of the cover.

It was a really bare-bones operation. Kevin Sarkki and Rob Stein were still on staff at the time, and they mainly did the product illustrations for the catalogs. Rob had started doing some of the cover illustrations by the time I had started.

In 1987 the inspectors insisted we move out of the building immediately; it was a big old brick building, not at all safe. Sadly, it ended up falling down in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake and some people outside were killed. (Photos and information of the Bluxome street collapse. Another photo here)

We were also going for a New Yorker magazine kind of feel in terms of being smart and witty. Then we were trying to maintain an updated British Empire sensibility/1930s travel magazine feeling with the design of the catalog. So those were the parameters that the illustrators worked within.
