What’s on your mind?
Well, I had an interesting day today. I got woke up from a sound sleep by a 7.0 earthquake. Doesn’t happen every day but it happened today. Got my attention I’ll tell you that! Not ashamed to admit I ran for the back door as fast as I could. Why the back door? Well it was the closest to the bedroom. Been suffering through after shocks all day and now into the evening and night. Damn if I Don’t love living in Alaska but damn if I don’t hate earthquakes and their aftershocks.
I pray you and yours are safe.
Thanx gbear, very thoughtful of you. So far so good.
Good to hear you are all right. I hope the message from God about Moon signs has gotten through. 🙂
Absolutely. Where would we be without zzyzx?

“This feature (a text animation triggered by typing ‘congrats’) is widely available on Facebook globally, however we regret that it appeared in this unfortunate context and have since turned off the feature locally,” Lisa Stratton, a Facebook spokesperson, told Motherboard in an email. “Our hearts go out to the people affected by the earthquake.”
