Random stuff…just cuz it’s Friday:
We had an earthquake in the midwest this morning. Although it was centered in southern Illinois it still woke me – and that’s saying something because I’m pretty dead to the world at 5:30am. I think it was actually the bedroom door that woke me and not the earth rumble itself. Our door was moving ever so slightly back and forth making a little creak and that did it. I recall it lasted about a full 10-15 seconds. Long enough for me to consider all the possibilities of what it might be. My first thought was earthquake (I recognized the feel from a very similar one years ago), but then you remember you’re in Ohio and start eliminating more likely scenarios. Some gigantic loud truck outside – nope, it’s not loud, some major wind storm – nope, again too quiet and it’s a constant shake, and so on. Until eventually you think, damn it is an earthquake.
With all due respect to Al and everyone else in Cali, they really need a different word for earthquakes here. Here, the news revels in it and people look at it with unintimidated awe as a rare, harmless feat of nature – like a solar eclipse or a double rainbow. Our earthquakes are your dust devels to our tornadoes.
And now for a reminder of how weird people are, Slick forwarded me this link. Me thinks this makes for a great caption contest…GO COMMENT!
Paul bet Sarah that she couldn’t put a sweater on while typing. She lost.

This is my 3rd earthquake here in Ohio.
Uh huh, the earthquake woke ya. Are you sure you and Doona weren’t…Oh nevermind 🙂
And I would attempt a comment, but my brain isn’t of the comic variety and therefore it fails when it tries to come up with something witty. Remind me to fire it someday.
Working in Santa’s North Pole workshop had its ups and downs, and all was mostly good until the R & D department asked all the elves to test out their new line of stocking-stuffers.
