I wonder if New Madrid is getting antsy, again. There's quite a bit
of seismic activity downstate that originates with pressures bearing on
the New Madrid fault.

I didn't feel anything here. But that's probably why I'm still single.

But thanks for the head's up. I'll check the seismograph at the
Planetarium when I'm down there this weekend.

I was watching local WLBT www.wlbt.com tv news this morning.They
showed a short video clip at an Evansville,Indiana tv station on there,
that webcam of theirs was shaking just like, Shake it Baby, dont break
it, Wrap it up and I will take it.

The guy in Indiana said,,, Are we having an Earthquake!

Sompin like that, I have known of that website for years.About seven
years ago, I saw a website about live online Earthquake counters, them
thingys scrolling them lines on them graphs, whatever.New York City is
sittin on top of at least one Earthquake Fault.A few years ago, somebody
came into this very self same newsgroup and he/she/it/Bitch intimated I
dont know what I am talking about.

It's so much that thingys are gettin ''antsy'' It's like this,,, (my
misconstrued opinion) Earth is made of Space Junk, Earth is always
churning itself inside out, it's Murphy's Law.Just like wayyyyy back in
the 1940s in Carthage,Mississippi www.thecarthaginian.com and my
mom used to get me out in the front yard under that big Walnut Tree and
workin that auld Butter Churn thangy up and down.Earth is Dymacic, Earth
is always changing and us little insignifence human beans are in the
way!

Yeah, I guess a long time ago that was a big one. Hard telling what it might do
these days if it let loose with a major jolt.

Conversely, people feeling everything around them hardly ever stay
married long.

There used to be an old raggity Kingsland Hotel at 6668 Delmar Street in
Saint Louis.I was there for a while in 1961, before I joined the Army in
1962.I remember a very mild shakeing at that old hotel in 1961.KMOX
radio said it was an Earthquake.
