Having my Sunday morn coffee this morn lamenting the rain cuz I wanted
to go sailing and felt a sorta wavy motion, it was two distinct waves
and maybe a few smaller ones a few secs later. I've never felt an
earthquake and we arent s'posed to have em here in Tallahassee, FL but
I knew this wasnt a passing truck. It was very slight but unmistakable
and I thought "Earthquake?, maybe I ought go on the net and check some
seismometers" but I didnt. Now I see that there was a Mag. 6 about 200
miles west of Bradenton out in the Gulf. That'd put it about 300 miles
due south of here.

It's the added weight of all those transplanted Yankees. They've cracked
Florida's foundation.


Dang, I knew it wuz somehting like that.
