What was Max doing during all the excitement, you ask?
Sleeping peacefully.

Earthquake in Indiana
We were awakened at about 4:30 this morning when our bed started shaking and a very loud sound that I am having trouble finding the right word to describe. It was kind of a booming, cracking sound, but that's not even quite right. Even though the whole house was shaking nothing fell off the walls or bookcases. It was all very surreal. After it stopped, we turned on the news to find out that we had just experienced an 5.2 earthquake. Aftershocks are sitting at about 4.5. I keep hearing them but am not feeling them as much. The epicenter was near Evansville, IN so we didn't have it to badly but I will be spending some time checking the foundation tomorrow. So far everyone we know is OK but we have friends with family in Evansville so send out good thoughts for them.

Glad you are ok. This beats the old regular alarm clock. Must of been very exciting. And I've heard nothing exciting happens in St Louis.
I did't mean to be anonymous but I had to go reset my password.
Hey there - glad all is well with you guys. Hope the finals are going well - or did go well. We just got the internet on here and am busy checking up on blog sites - will get to mine soon enough. It is flipping cold up here - I never take off my ugg boots! But I am assured it gets warmer - and you will never belive this - but I have a vegetable garden patch, and I am actually working out in it - i turned over soil today and I was so excited to find worms that I think a feel a worm farm comming on!
