It was KRAZY at work starting about 1:40 pm today. Apparently it took 20 minutes for the tremors to travel down to Northern NJ. and just seconds for 500 people to all dial 9-1-1 at once because they felt shaking :-:

Gee I must be dead since I was a whole mile from the NJ border. :rolleyes:

Haha. That's a course that I wouldn't mind playing with some FTers. We'd all have to get our games in shape for that. I don't wanna travel that far just to stink up the joint.

COE may still be in my future. However, I had promised teh Box I was going to cross the last two states off my list sometime this summer, I've been having a crummy week, the lowest published fare on the itinerary was (and is) $885, yet SkyTeam USA had a 25,000 mile award available.* BOI also happens to be close enough to drive to OR / Whitman National Forest.

* Continues icurhere2's record of never redeeming anything other than a low award.

Hi from DC...

The office nearly exploded in the 91'

Awesome. ^ I was quite sad that no one in the entire terminal (LGA A) even seemed to know what was going on...

19 minutes till I can check-in. If I was silver from last year, I would have had the EUA, as 14F seats remain. :( I hate not traveling/unemployment. I hope to move away from 29B. Eww...

Wow, what route is that that has 14F seats remaining?

I'm happy with Lake Michigan water. Very clean taste to it.

I grew up on Lake Erie water, which was also totally fine. I couldn't understand people's aversions to tap water at that point.

It twas me. I'm very very tempted, it's just that a)work is going to suck after September and b) there's a decent chance I have a BF CDG trip in September, which lowers my MR needs.

Ooohhhh, nice. I'm with you on a) and WISH I were on b)! :)

Yes, this is the time where I wish I had a desktop that connected to my TV, to use as a media center...between Netflix direct and ESPN3, it sure would come in handy so that I could actually do other things on my laptop while watching something.

Most of the calls were from office buildings reporting shaking, possible building collapse, explosions, fire alarm or just we heard a boom. :-:

NJ just a shot across the bow, awaiting more serious divine punishment for its iniquity. I just got off the phone with a guy in TUS (where it was 105 with a heat index of 99, "cooler" than here!) who told me that Asbury Park has an ordinance up for approval to make its beach topless.

gbryan84, I did not have a chance to look into the Dec 11 MR yet. I will try to let you know tomorrow.

What would those people do if they lived near me when Trap Rock sets of one of their explosion and the ground vibrates the whole house and makes things buzz.
