Hey! My hometown had an earthquake on Thursday and I didn't even know. It triggered two landslides on Mt Garfield and could be felt from the hotel. I knew about the landslides, but did not realize they were quake related. Crazy! Check it out!

That is pretty crazy.-
Yeah, we don't get too many of them out here, although President Nixon did detonate some atomic bombs underground in the 60s near Parachute. THAT caused some quakes.

I was reading about "Project Chariot" in that article. The "Nuke to Nowhere"? -
I thought the first nuke test in the Ploughshare program would have appealed to you more:

What!
No Colorado visit now.-
only 5 people died in ziplining accidents due to the quake.

Don't believe a word he says. No one was injured and it was a minor tremor. Colorado is a very geologically stable are----
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
Ahhhhhh! -
Moose stampede?
-
Illinois probably gets more earthquakes than Colorado. We get one every couple of years. Tremors mostly.
-
-
What?! I missed that on CNN. -
A 2.5 quake (which you can't even feel unless you are sitting VERY still) sets everybody aflutter? Better stay away from San Francisco then!-
I think it was the big rushing wall of rock that cam thundering down the mountain and nearly buried Interstate 70 that had everyone excited.
-
Ok, driving to CO is out.
I can see the news report now. Unemployed Chicago woman sole victim in Colorado rock slide. -
Chicken. You're far more likely to go careening into one of our deep precipices than get hit by falling rock.
-

I agree with SweetViolent! Better stay away from San Francisco. I was there for the earthquake of '89 and there was a WHOLE lot of shaking going on! It even drew me out of my nod at the time!-
I was there for Loma Prieta, too. I moved to the Bay Area in 74 and cannot count the number of quakes in the 3.0 to 4.0 range I sat through. A 2.5 we would not even have noticed!
-
I once woke up to a 4 point something in the Bay Area. I thought someone was at the foot of my hotel bed shaking it! I was pissed!

We get earthquakes here that are pretty crazy but they don't happen too often...like twice a decade maybe-
How close are you to Mt Ranier?
-
Seattle is closer...We are by Mt. Hood
-
Wait, that's right. You're in Oregon and Agit is in Seattle. I sometimes get confused.
-
he is in Spokane
-
Arrgh! I'll never get it straight. Did I tell you that scientists now believe there may be a Yellowstone style supervolcano forming under the Cascades, particularly Mt St Helens?
-
we are really close to Mt St Helens!!
-
Did anyone tell Claire about the Yellowstone super volcano set to explode in August 2010?
-
Nah, the French-Swiss supercollider will have compacted us all into a quantum singularity by then.
-
CERN has already turned it on and the universe hasn't imploded. Now, we'll see what happens when the one at FERMI Lab, here in Suburbs of Chicago gets turned on.
-
When they flip the switch, Chicago will morph into an alternate reality where there is no St. Patrick's Day and the Daleys have vanished.
I know. I just like paranoid end of the world conspiracy theories. I think they are hilarious. -
Chicago without the Daleys. *laughs maniacally* This city would be unrecognizable without the Irish and the Daleys. My goodness. We had 5 non-Daley mayors and the city almost collapsed in on itself during their terms.
No matter how much of a halo they put on Mayor Harold Washington, things are way better in Chicago now under King Daley.
Of course, there are a lot of people who would disagree with that statement.

Well,I hope i-
I hope you do, too!

Why has Colorado named a mountain after a fat lasagne loving cat?-
The mountain is named after the assassinated U.S. President, although it's a well known fact that both the cartoon cat and the politician hated Mondays.
-
If that was so, it would be named Mount Lincoln.
-
That's right next door. Our vineyards are the the "Mt Lincoln Vineyards."
-
Must be quite deserted. They can't be many people that want to mount Lincoln. I think even Mrs Lincoln had reservations on that one. Mount Garfield on the other hand.......
-
Yes, people frequently mount Garfield. There's even an American flag planted in it.
-
I think the best way to mount Garfield would be to crush some sleeping pills into his lasagne and then wait till Jon took Odie out.
-
Have you ever read Garfield Minus Garfield? It's hilarious!
-
No. I don't really understand philosophy.
-
It's a very clever humor site. This guy Photoshops out Garfield from every single panel and leaves Jim talking to himself. It's very sad, existential and funny.
garfieldminusgarfield.net/ -
That's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
-
Yes. And very, very funny.
-
Just replace Jim with an Asian unemployed architect and that pretty much describes me.
*sigh* -
Oh stop it! No self pity! You will land on your feet!
-
It could be worse Still, you could be an unemployed fish gutter or an unemployed pooper scooper.
-
Did I mention my cat has cancer? It just keeps getting better.
-
I know, and I am sorry for you cat. But if you only focus on the negative you're going to make yourself depressed.
