Earthquakes And Sinkholes

 Yes friends an earthquake hit Roosevelt Island, the Borough of Queens, and that caused a sinkhole in Brooklyn. Locations are in New York. The state and city. The earth moved Tuesday early morning and the 1.7 magnitude shaker apparently "shook residents from their beds and caused a series of explosions AND a sinkhole in Brooklyn." I've survived numerous earthquakes that have occurred at various times and locations in my sojourn around Planet Earth and a 1.7 earthquake is hardly noticeable. Really. Trains shake the ground more than a 1.7 earthquake. Now I really shouldn't hack on New Yorkers having to endure an "earthquake, explosions, and a sinkhole." Being New Yorkers, well they tend to be a mite skittish. Can't really blame New Yorkers for that and after all, they live in New York City. What the New Yorkers failed to notice was the posting from USGS about that earthquake being a pre-cursor to a super volcano eruption about to happen under Roosevelt Island, the Borough of Queens, and Brooklyn. Now that would be something to get concerned about. A super volcanic eruption will send Roosevelt Island, the Borough of Queens, and Brooklyn skyrocketing all the way to Iceland. Won't the Yorkers be surprised to waking up in Iceland. Icelanders might mind and possibly be more than a bit annoyed at having Roosevelt Island, the Borough of Queens, and Brooklyn landing next to Reykjavik unannounced. Anyway with all the ugly events happening at present around our horribly under siege Planet Earth, a minor earthquake story should provide a little levity in these not so appealing days of war and assorted other atrocities being waged by people that should know better from the git. Now for Thursday machine art.

I tend to wonder about people that say New York is a "wonderful" place to live. so when asked why the former New Yorkers decided to leave New York to move west, they will generally reply, "it's New York and there's way too many people and the air stinks." there you go ... 😐
