My foot again

I need to trade my feet in for new models. A routine visit to Groucho Marx, and I had to have a toenail removed again. For this, I'd like to thank Buttercup. She was getting into something as usual, and in my attempt to get at her, I stubbed my toe really hard on the corner of the couch. It hurt for a second, I shook it off and went along. A little later I noticed a big red spot on my bedroom shoe. I apparently split the nail all the way to the cuticle. By the time I got to see the foot doc (Groucho) it was infected. Before I could protest, he already had the needle ready. So now i'm limping around for a few weeks. The good thing is I dont have to limp around at wallyworld, i do it someplace else!!

Earthquake felt in Florida???????

Gulf of Mexico earthquake felt in Southeast US - Yahoo! News

I must admit I am perplexed at this. Reading all the stories and I realize I may have in fact felt it a little. I was cleaning up getting ready for a day of football (which ended up ugly). It's important to note that there is a train track directly behind my house and I hear/feel the rumble thru here sometimes a few times a day. I remember hearing a rumble, feeling the rumble as I normally do. Sometimes it rumbles real good if its a train full of freight. But now thinking back, I don't remember hearing the horn from the train. Usually the rumble from the train lasts many minutes. This was only about 10 seconds. While actively posting in my football threads, someone posted about a quake in the gulf and I was thinking "wtf this got to do with football, put down yer pipe dude.."

Natural phenomenon interests me to a certain degree, but quakes always scared me. Now I hope I wont have the opportunity to live thru one....

Good day

Today must be my lucky day. I got three separate phone calls today about jobs, one of them was actually an offer, which I readily accepted. Wallyworld is fun, but this grass is greener. Now to get this motormouth off the damn phone >:-|
