Riding to Chili's


Maria had to work at the paper for awhile yesterday, so I fired up the John Deere and mowed the lawn.
With some daylight left, we decided to take the K1200GT out for a ride. We followed the Crowley's Ridge Parkway up to Paragould for a light dinner at Chili's.
No beer, thanks - we're riding.
Unsweet iced tea.
Around here you have to specify or they might bring you iced tea that's heavily laced with sugar.

Event 2008qza6


The U.S. Geological Survey has some interesting data on this morning's magnitude 5.2 earthquake in southeastern Illinois.
Thus far, their website has received 32,853 reports from all over the central United States concerning what the USGS is calling Event 2008qza6. The reports include 5 from Jonesboro, Ark., and 11 from Paragould, Ark. Our place lies between those two cities.
Here's a map showing the intensity by Zip code for the area from which reports were received. If you want to read more or add your report, here's the link to the USGS site: http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/cus/index.html
