woke me at shortly after one o'clock this morning.
"Hm........earthquake," thinks I. I went back to sleep.

who, having now lived through one, still doesn't understand what all
the fuss is about.

"Wolfgang"

Some details Wolfgang, 4.5 magnitude isn't that strong of a earthquake.
Here's some data you may already have but I'll post it anyway it's
interesting:

-JUN-2004
time was 06:10:51
latitude and longitude. 44 -88.95
magnitude 4.5 depth 5.0
location ILLINOIS

Deep

Having an earthquake in the Midwest puts an entirely different perspective on
things. Will everything west of Milwaukee slide into the Pacific, or will
Milwaukee have beach front property on the Atlantic? Hmmm. . .

Well, I know I'm rootin' for the later.

It's that survival instinct, I think.

Tough call. I mean, the surfing is better on the left coast (or so I
hear, anyway), but the right has better Atlantic salmon fishing.
Personally, I guess I can't see any real problem with living on an
isthmus.

a man, a plan, a canal....oconomowoc.......hm........that needs some
work, i think.

Awe, the "New Atlantic City" boardwalk. Wall to wall bowling alleys,
casserole resteraunts (and take-away), strolling along eating deep-fried
cheddar on a stick and pasties. Mmmm good.

Based on purely scientific data, this appears to be the outcome of the "big one"
centered in the Midwest:

Thanks for sparing us, Tim. But could we trade Texas,Mississippi, and
Louisiana for Montana, Wyoming and Colorado? Just for the fishing, y'know.
BTW, I see you've appropriately renamed Florida.

I guess it would make sense that the Atlantic Salmon fishing is better
near the Atlantic vice the Pacific ocean but then Ihave caught
Landlocked Atlantics in Pass Lake less than a 1/4 mile from the Pacific
(well, Puget Sound) . Guess there's less sense in a name than ever
before.

They're farming Atlantics on the West coast. The last I heard, there
have been escapees that have attempted to spawn in some streams.
