The earth moved, the ground shook. Yesterday morning. Centered in Lebanon, N.J., 45 miles west of New York City. New York City experienced the magnitude of the quake as did communities many miles away. The quake a 4.8.

My home town Utica, 240 miles north of New York City, felt the tremors. Residents said they lasted about one minute.

A 4.0 aftershock was felt 6 hours later.

No damage has been reported re the quake itself or the aftershock.

The earthquake brings hurricanes to mind. A very busy hurricane season has been predicted for Florida this year. Reason: The warm Atlantic Ocean waters that fuel hurricane storms.

Biden visited Baltimore yesterday and the  Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. He promised federal support “every step of the way.” Earlier he  asked Congress to refund the rebuilding of the 1.6 mile bridge. Costs will run over $1 billion.

Lets see if Congress cooperates.

Biden said, “We’re going to move heaven and earth to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as possible.” And “we will do so with union labor and American steel.”

Trump is “weaponizing religion.” The man uses every means to succeed in whatever he does. This time around, this election, it involves the Almighty. He, Trump, projecting himself God like. His rallies have acquired a 15 minute add on reflecting the religious aspect. The add ons are symbolic of “religious revival meetings.”

God may be in His Heaven. He is not with Donald at the rallies!

Another example of “more God in government.” Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says the New York City earthquake and Monday eclipse are warnings from God.

Trump “swindles” his followers again. How long will people continue to buy into his fraudulent money making schemes?

Trump Media went public last week. Hit a peak of $79.38 a share. One week later, the stock dropped. On April 1 (April Fool’s Day), it was a mere $45.26 a share. A 43 percent loss in only 3 trading days.

An example of Trump playing his supporters for suckers.

The drop came after Trump Media reported that it lost $58.2 million in 2023 on sales of just $4.1 million. Suggests Trump Media is practically worthless.

Where was this information last  week before the stock went public? Was the loss reported in the public papers supporting the stock introduction?

The Ladies Final Four began last night. Iowa squeaked by Connecticut 71-69. South Carolina destroyed North Carolina State 78-59.

The Championship Game will be a wild one!

Did you ever notice that fight attendants sit on their hands during takeoff and landing? It’s all about safety. 

If an emergency were to occur on takeoff or landing, their head, hands and arms are already in a slight brace position. The position an automatic rigid one which prepares them to act efficiently and immediately in case of emergency.

It was Higgs Beach again for a couple of hours yesterday.

People come over and talk to me. Tourists. Some ask if I am Key West Lou. Others just to pass the time of day.

I find it strange. I sit quietly in my chair. A cap covering my eyes. Generally looking down. Mind my own business. All of a sudden, a voice speaks.

Enjoy your day!
