THE Earthquake
Or the train passing by. Whatever you want to call it. At around 1:52 PM yesterday afternoon, a 5.9 earthquake that originated in Charlottesville, NC shook the east coast. The earthquake was felt from North Carolina to New York. I was not one of those people and I'm kind of disappointed. Is that wrong?
My brother texted me at about 2 PM and asked if I felt that earthquake. Considering he lives in New Jersey, that was quite alarming. What was even more alarming was that my brother didn't text me back for about 15 minutes. I literally scoured the internet for information about the quake and quickly found out that it was nothing serious. I'm glad everyone is ok, but jeez, at least knock a pen off my desk or something. I never experienced an earthquake before and still think I haven't after yesterday, although I'm convincing myself that maybe I felt something just so that I converse with people who had.
An earthquake and a hurricane in the same week, that must be some kind of record. Although this hurricane doesn't seem to be a joke. Tomorrow we'll start lockdown mode here in the office and at the ballpark.

Carolina Hurricane...not the hockey team
As the season has come to a close, we're trying to wrap up some things at the ballpark and at the office. I feel kind of guilty as the blog had to go to the waste-side yet again. For shame. We certainly did a pretty good job with Facebook and Twitter this year. But enough of the apologizing.
Hurricane Irene is due here at the conclusion of the week. We'll probably head over to the park and take down the tent and our big Marlin. From what I can gather, we've been pretty lucky here in the last few years so I guess we're due. Knock on wood. I've only been in one hurricane before which ironically was in North Carolina when I was about 15. We were on a family vacation in the Outer Banks and really was a scary experience. We'll just have to bunker down and wait it out. So stay down and stay safe. I'm not familiar with hurricane protocol, but I now feel the urge to do a little more research.
