Jan- LOL- that's true- there's been more earthquakes in the midwest lately- what's up with *that*?? Ah, yes- the New Madrid- I remember talking about that one in our "the violent earth" class (when I thought about going into geology- that was just before the creative writing). I always laughed when my mom & grandma worried about me moving to CA 'cause of the 'quakes. I told them that there can be bad ones in the midwest, too (I don't think they took me seriously....but I bet they do now-lol!). ROTFLMAO- Rick keeping a straight face (NOT) covering the Monkeypox story. I think initially everyone prolly laughs at it- Monkeypox? *MONKEY*pox??? LOL 'Course chickenpox prolly sounded strange to people at one time too.....Prairie dogs are cute though......but I don't think I'd want one as a pet. A mosquito with West Nile Virus & a prairie dog with monkeypox......trying to think of something clever......*I give up*. But it would be odd..... You bet I'll be wearing the boonie with pride! :D You do better with the 8 years of Spanish than I could do with my 5 years of German (2- HS & 3 in college). Hmmm....Kein Rick photographieren heute. OMG....THAT was *truly* scary.....I really didn't think I could come up with that!! Guess I remember more than I thought! Could still be wrong....I used to kinda mangle that language....

Hey- a (late) observation.....what is it with all the guys (in general- not just at Fox) wearing bright blue shirts with yellow ties? Rick did that last week (or maybe the week before, I lose track WHEN HE HASN'T BEEN ON- lol!) I noticed that the guy filling in for Colmes tonight was doing the blue shirt yellow tie thing, and I passed a couple of guys here & there this week while going to the PO & maybe even at work doing the same combo.....I just never noticed it before. I guess I don't really pay much attention to guy fashion, so maybe it's the "in thing".
