It has been a weird week…and it isn’t over yet. On Sunday, I found out a dear friend had passed away the night before… On Tuesday, we had an earthquake ~ 5.9 magnitude ~ the strongest quake to hit Virginia in the last 100 years.  Yes, Virginia has earthquakes ~ however you normally don’t even notice them.  I felt this one yesterday…it was the second time I have experienced an earthquake.  I didn’t particularly enjoy it either time. We were in one of the “strong” blobs near near Newport News. And coming attractions ~ Hurricane Irene….closing in on where?  Hurricanes are interesting I think…you watch them form and then march across the ocean…
