http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0007f7s.phpIf I'm not mistaken, they've recently started fracking gas drilling in that area. Probably related to that. Seems to happen everywhere they do that kind of drilling.

And also the water gets contaminated.

Nothing is beginning...I just always wanted to say that :) Happy New Year to you Darlin'!

We had a fun New Year evening last year, didn't we. You drove like crazy in rough weather to make it here on time...and you did!
It was awesome!
Me and the misses will toast to you tonight!

We did have fun, last NYE, didn't we?

I am staying in tonight. Most of my friends are getting over being sick (probably my fault <sniffle>). I'll probably just drink some champagne, maybe play some pool or darts. (Sorry to derail, but it's your thread. ;))

Are you getting better at darting? Did my tip help you to kick LT's butt?
We never did finish our last game...your score is still on the board.

No, I suck at darts, but I still try to hit the target sometimes. Most dart games at my house end by both sides giving up because it's taken so long to finish. Ha! Libertytree has a bum elbow, so he's not interested in darts. However, I am getting a (craigslist!) ping pong table on Monday, and Libertytree is willing to go through the pain to play me. It concerns me that he might be better than me! The bright side to that is . . . playing a better player will make me a better player . . . if I can be a good sport about it. Wish me luck!

I should say so. A Marine Lt Col was trying to hawk his girl friends gold necklace on craigslist in Florida. He took it and his two kids to meet the potential buyer. The guy grabs the necklace and takes off with the Lt Col in pursuit. Before they got too far though the black guy turns and puts 4 rounds into the Marine. He survived and the cops got the criminals.

Takes a lot of guts to deal through craigslist. Good luck.

Well, this is a $50 old ping pong table at their home. Yes, anything can happen, but I refuse to live my life in fear, just yet. There's time enough for that, later.

Thanks for the well-meaning warning, though. I know it comes from a good place. :)
