Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On

Big news yesterday from Illinois/ Indiana was the earthquake. We didn't feel it here but the tremors were widespread. Reporters said tremors were felt as far away as Cinncinnati. I would prefer NOT to be in the Sears tower in Chicago when they they felt the earth move.
Locally our fault line is under the Mississippi river and runs near the U of Minnesota. That is where they are building the replacement bridge for the one that tumbled down last August. I am chosing not to worry, but there are a lot of things you could run with if you wanted to.
I got a call from friend Barb yesterday that their third granddaughter, Lucy, was born in Cleveland yesterday. They went into labor around 4am I believe. When was that earthquake again? 4 :37 AM? You don't suppose..... Anyway, beautiful Lucy arrived safely. Life goes on. Babies are born. Children grow up. We live our lives hopefully enjoying the moment and hopeful for the future.
