Safety Tips for Channing’s Rancho Mirage Home
- Share via
Please warn our favorite Broadway star Carol Channing (“Her Desert Stage” by Ruth Ryon, March 3) to remove that four-drawer file cabinet and lamp from her bedside in Rancho Mirage. One mild 4 a.m. earthquake tremor could send the lamp crashing down on the bed pillows. Two two-drawer files placed side-by-side (with lamp for bedside reading) will enhance the bedroom appearance and make an excellent place for one more of the Hirschfeld sketches.
While we’re on subject of quake safety, clay or quake “glue” to hold wall pictures securely above a headboard is another needed quake safety reminder.
You can’t dodge falling objects in one or two seconds of quake heaving, so anchor each object securely, and avoid regret and injury later.
