'Round the World Weather Report

shazam! the house shook last night about 11, it was a 5.6 earthquake in Oklahoma, and people all over KS and MO could feel it.

OKLAHOMA? Sheesh, when did they start getting earthquakes? I grew up there and never had to worry about anything but tornadoes and the occasional dust storm.

[knitwit45]

apparently, there was more than one yesterday, but the big one was at 11 at night, and I am about 15 miles south of Kansas City, and northcentral MO felt it too.

Holy cow, life is weird. Earthquakes in Oklahoma, Connecticut and NYC this year....is someone trying to send us a message? Don't get complacent....

Three years ago, an earthquake rattled Kentucky a little. My dog slept through it!

[JackFavell]

Dang dogs, if they are just going to sleep when weather is happening, what good is keeping one?

[knitwit45]

boy, my 2 little pups didn't sleep...they barked up a storm, they thought someone was pounding on the door.

The weather was lovely this past weekend in Northern Virginia...but not nearly as lovely as the Most Beautiful Granddaughter in This and All Alternate Universes!

I have a grand nephew that is pretty handsome. And yes, the weather in the Balt/DC area has been fine while topped off with the Ravens beating the dreaded Steelers.

[JackFavell]

You OK out there in tornado territory, knitty?

[ChiO]

Ravens? Is that a real NFL team? Bears - 17. Eagles - 10. That's a NFL score. Between two NFL teams. (I know. The real Baltimore team sneaked out of town.)

So, let's talk. Your grand nephew...is he worthy?

[knitwit45]

Geez, are we having tornadoes??????

I'm watching the Battle of the Blondes...Veronica Lake is swingin' away, Lana Turner is up next...

Lots of thunder and lightning and rain going on outside...

He comes from a long line of Taylors. His great grandfather and grandfather certainly are of a notable stature. I can't say as much for his great uncle though.

BTW, what is wrong with a 23-20 score? And yes, the real Baltimore did sneak out years ago but it seems the current version bears no resemblance to the former. A local outrage was that some back up player was spotted on the sideline wearing the sacred number 19. Bad move and totally out of touch with their past. (I didn't see it but read about it.)

Orson Bean once told a story about "My great, great...well, pretty good grandfather!"

I tell people the only thing I excel at is being ordinary.
