I think that is the quake that made the Mississippi in the quake area run up river.
The Cascadia fault line has more potential to do damage than the San Andreas.
That’s cute - reminds me of one that ended with “I wonder where the flowers is” but I don’t remember what the first two lines were...now that will bug me the rest of the day UNLESS it comes to me in the next 2 seconds when I leave the computer.
My sister and her family lived in El Paso when her husband was stationed there in the ‘60’s. They used to travel to our home state of New York every summer. The kids used to ask, “Are we there yet” and my sister would say, “we’re not out of Texas yet” so on subsequent trips, they changed their question to “are we out of Texas yet?”
Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the flowers is ?
Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where
The flowers iz.
Could that be it?
You stole my thunder.....that IS it. It took me more than a few seconds - I was in the shower when it came to me. Wow - wish we could solve all this country’s problems as easily....
Thanks...
That’s it and as I told another poster, it took me longer than a couple of seconds - I was in the shower when it came to me.
Where do you suppose it came from? I can’t even pin it down to any time frame - 50’s, 60’s???? Has to be earlier than the ‘70’s...
Isn’t this more fun than getting upset and frustrated over the news? We do need lots more distractions!!!
Whgen I was a kid on a trip west with my parents I was fascinated by the Burma Shave signs on the side of the road. Two of my favorites were, Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, where last years crazy driver iz. AND beside the road in Idaho where thee fields were littered with rounded rocks of various sizes, PETRIFIED WATERMELONS! Take one home to your mother-in-law.
Such innocent fun. Today they would be declared as Politically incorrect because they MIGHT offend somone!
How far we’ve fallen.
