I am doing good, I guess I should have put these threads in the ecology thread, but I forgot it was there, lol

Today it is 31 degrees here. Almost a heat wave. We may hit 40 by the end of next week (:shocked, gasp!)
I know it sounds weird, but when it starts to unthaw a little around here I get all excited cause that means spring is just around the corner and then SUMMER yay!!!

How have you been, Coco? Take care and God be with you all.

Last major quake in the United States was a 7.8, Nov. 17, 2003 in Rat Island, Alaska. I'm wondering if we are over due for one. :pray

I'm good! Yeah, heatwave alright.... But yes, I use to love when living in Michigan the feel and smell of spring coming in. We don't get that here...it all just blends together...:lol2

I'm good, just trying to follow all the breaking news. And don't worry, by the end of the day, all these threads will be moved or merged because it's just too much info. But I think if the Tsunami heads for the U.S., then that should go into breaking news

God Bless You!
