All shook up!

Last night at about 10:30, Morris County, New Jersey experienced an earthquake. It actually woke me up, it was a rumble followed by an explotion. I thought that maybe something happened in the nearby Arsenal. Accordng to news, it measured 3.0 in magnitude. Luckily there were no reports of extensive damage.

Actually, we're on a HUGE fault line - bigger than the one in San Francisco! It's just been fairly stable over the last 100 years or so. I'm hoping it stays nice and stable during my lifetime as well.

Trying hard not to be a slave to the lenders.

Teaching my sons to be fiscally responsible by example.

All shook up!
