Hey, @DaveMcK@SummerOnTheWay1@Frozenoem@Therapist4u@LeeS4949@MsStretch@LaDolceVita... and anyone who happens to come by...
At my age I thought I was finished experiencing "firsts," but this morning around 10:25, there was a 4.7 mag. earthquake! The epicenter was in NJ, but quite a few areas felt it. I was in the bathroom when it started and at first I thought there was something wrong with my heater and it was going to explode. The noise was incredible. Sounded like a huge, unbalanced washer full of stuff. The whole house was shaking. I thought to myself, Is this an earthquake? In all my 75 years, I actually have never felt an earthquake before.
Lasted about 30 seconds and gradually settled down. I looked outside...nothing unusual. Was very perplexed until about 15 minutes later the TV news people started breaking into programming with the news that it was an earthquake.
For such a magnitude, it was surprising that there had so far been no reported injuries or damage.
So, my weekend was off to a rather exciting start! 😲
Anyone else feel that? They say it was felt from MA to MD.
@SummerOnTheWay1 , yes, Willie Mae and Giorgio are notorious nappers. I think they say cats can sleep up to 18 hours/day. They become more active when the sun goes down.
Everything here popping out green overnight. Bushwhacking season over. 🚶 We used to be able to go through April, almost May. The good ol' days. Last hike/bushwhack was Easter to a couple of old homesites in SNP. And it rained mid-hike. Climbing back up a mountainside slipping and sliding on wet leaves and rocks while navigating through greenbriar was great fun!
My memorable moment at SNP was similar ,campground was 60* with 2 dogs and the RV, Went into the bush down 20 feet and it was like a rainforest.
Immediate temperature climbed to 80-90.
We were all panting by the time we hit campground and A/C was turned on. The dogs were tired by the time we returned, couldn’t have been more than a 3-hour bushwhack.But it was better than parking in Cherry Hill for a month.
During the flooding and heavy rains. Mud up to here, might be confusing my songs but, we were both singing about the big muddy when we returned. Shenandoah is on my bucket list for future if it allows.

I only know what to do when the ground starts shaking, go under a table And hang on to it.Door frames or out in the open hunker down and hang on.In a car fasten seat belt, and go when shaking stops.
To date I’m lucky New England has relatively inactive plate lines.BUT, man in his infinite wisdom NOT!
Is screwing around with Mother Nature between climate change, mining, drilling etc,

@catwoman500 , I heard about the NJ earthquake! Glad you are all right. Reminds me of the one in VA several years back. Same thing, I wasn't sure what was happening until I looked outside and saw everything shaking. I've lived in CA and Japan and know about earthquakes, but you just don't expect them on the east coast.
@SummerOnTheWay1 , are you back in VA? Thought you moved to FL. Sorry if I missed something.
About the only tremor I ever felt in Maine, was a dainty changing moment, was jacking up my camp and Jack partially crushed my ring and me.I know it’s ez enough to put ring on mandrel but, it’s kinda a CYA everytime I look at it.
To date all fingers are still attached and kinda work, besides it’s my favorite and most often used finger to use in southlands.
Now time for happy pills and food enjoy

Also, while you use a phone to access AARP & can see & respond to posts instantly... I have a phone but no data!
I only have an old messed up laptop & I do lots of stuff on it & then I leave....so if I don’t reply soon it might take another day...I'm not ignoring you...I'm here only a short while & that delays responses to you...also my hands hurt too much after a lot of typing so I have to stop for a while.......try to send IM again since I'm here for a short bit more...OK?
My notifications of new posts were always dated 2021 despite the actual year of posting.It was like AARP never changed the time and date stamp on their servers.
Beyond that I can’t really speak non-geek. Need to speak to a Windoze or Dos user. Not happening this month my computers are busy, all of them.
If you have a Windows or Dos computer with bios that hasn’t booted in years and battery is dead on motherboard. Then you’d need to boot to command prompt and enter date: and Time: to bring it into this century.
About as non geek as I can go!
