I Felt the Earth Move, Did You?
Some of us in Pueblo felt the earthquake yesterday, did you?
The Chieftain announced today that that weird vibration I felt yesterday afternoon was an earthquake. I was in my second floor office, sitting in a five-point office chair, when this strange vibration like a truck rumbling past bounced me around slightly. Except there was no truck and this house doesn’t vibrate over things like normal vehicle traffic, sonic booms or artillery fire. I thought maybe it was an upset stomach. I’ve never felt an earthquake before, so I had no idea.
The newspaper said some people are blaming oil-well drilling and that sort of thing. I’m wondering about that explosion in Utah. Seriously, the crater looks to be the size of a city block, or two or three. It’s much more impressive than a little six-inch diameter hole in the ground.
Or we could always blame terrorists, global warming, the coming ice age, continental drift or space aliens. Somebody’s got to be to blame, right?
