Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Time to send in the paratroopers?

We did have a 5.6 earthquake at about 5:10 AM this morning.  I happened to be awake and it shook the place pretty good.  Another few seconds longer or steps up the Richter scale and it would have been really scary.

And there are more rumblings that things could heat up politically.  Frustration abounds with the politicians here..... sounds familiar, doesn't it?  In certain areas of the state there are long unresolved serious problems.

107 days and counting for this particular planton or sit-in, but the teachers are a whole other entity.

To some, los maestros are combative heroes, fighting against reform and protection of their rights.  To others, not so much.

 What's it all about?

 And everyone loves the phone company... "Shut off the phone, set the street on fire"

Today, there was supposed to be a very large march and protests by Section XXII, the teachers, but it was so well publicized that I just stayed away, content to to enjoy a quiet day in the country.
