Ghosts of the first American Revolution......
A month ago, there was a good sized quake in southern Ontario that was felt in our locale. I was at the stove cooking and did not feel it, but my daughter, on her bed upstairs, did. She called down and asked if we had had an earthquake. I hadn't felt it but immediately went to the 'Quake Sheet" link at Drudge and nothing was posted, so I told her "No". However, the local news at the top of the hour was buzzing with quake news!
I also missed feeling one centered in central Illinois about 2.5 years ago. I slept through it. The same daughter was dropping a friend of at the airport and missed it too. Her suite-mate, slightly panicked, called her while she was on the road as it had rocked their 90 year old dorm at U of M pretty well.
Such diverse places...
Just mother earth way of saying get these progressives off of me before the kill me.
Maybe God’s giving the pols a warning shot down there.....
Woke me up in Lake Ridge, VA (about 20 down I-95 from DC)...I had a really strange dream, then thought that my daughter was kicking the chest at the end of our bed into the bed, which she does do occasionally...only problem was, she wasn’t there, or even awake. I remember hearing a noise, but I couldn’t place it. Hubby is off today, so he was still sleeping, but I later woke him up and asked if he slept well...while still mostly sleeping, he said the train was really loud. LOL We lived near train tracks at Fort Hood...18 months ago, I guess that’s what his brain used to cope.
The dogs didn’t go crazy barking. They may have whined, I would have slept through that. The cat was not around when I woke up, but later she woke me up, and had her tail poofed out, walking in that stiff-legged hyper-alert way. She’s still spooked. Poor kitty. Our older Golden Retriever was all worked up with the tail and ear action, and running the perimeter of the yard when I first let him out. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy acted like nothing had happened.
“Founding Fathers rolling in their grave.”
"You turn on the news, you'll see the same folks are still shouting about how it's going to be the end of the world because this bill passed. .... Leaders of the Republican Party, they called the passage of this bill 'Armageddon.' Armageddon! End of freedom as we know it! So after I signed the bill I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling. Some cracks opening up in the Earth! Turned out it was a nice day!"
somewhat ironic statement and timing, given that cracks WERE opening up in the Gulf of Mexico even as he crowed and who knows where in the universe a GRB may have been ejected
even pharaoh discovered that God will not be mocked
This was a wake up call for Obama’s Dems and the Rino sellouts passing the banking sham bill.
Maybe God will take charge of this afterall and have the entire East Coast slide into the Atlantic Ocean.
Imagine the relief that would be!
Not to worry, fake-o will discover the same.
hey hey hey! As long as God sends some angels to warn the good people to get out first!
I was born and raised in Wilmington, and I’d drive by Dover AFB on the way to the beach many summers. It’s just amazing watching those C-5s almost hover on approach to landing. Their stall speed must be absurdly slow.
3.7 ? I shake more when the neighbor passes wind.
Thanks for the ping.
