We had an earthquake this morning

at 4:36 AM. I was up, eating left over pizza, but didn't feel it. I don't believe there was any damage. Just to be on the safe side, however, they raised the price of gas 20 cents.
-------------------------------------
UPDATE: The quake was a 5.2, strong for the Midwest. There was an aftershock at 10:14 AM, it was a 4.5. (A 5.5 would be ten times a 4.5; a 6.5 would be 100 times stronger than a 4.5.)

Jim, by the way, what is the price for gas there? We are paying 3.699 a gallon.

Hi Scott! -- it went to 3.699 yesterday here, it's cheaper on the Missouri side because they have a lover state tax (3.299 to 3.459).
