So, another big quake in Chile? Seems a bit spooky to me.
eta: CNN tells me a 7.2 quake during the new president's inauguration.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

It's an aftershock. A large one (7.2), but the original earthquake was pretty big, too. Aftershocks from an earthquake that big could continue for years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Midnight Knitter" Strikes New Jersey Town at Night with Knitted Cozies
Police in West Cape May, New Jersey, are investigating mysterious knitted cozies that are appearing on on trees in the town during the night:
But not everyone is keen to stop the mysterious knitter – and the mayor and many residents admit they have been enthralled by the rainbow of colours.
Susan Longacre takes a walk each morning in Wilbraham Park, where several tree branches have been covered in the handiwork of the Midnight Knitter.
“I think it’s wonderful” she told the newspaper.

I made it into the office after working two days at home. I don't think this was a wise idea. I'm ready to fall asleep at my desk and I have a blazing headache. I don't even think a full strength caffeine IV would get me moving at a reasonable pace.

Now I'm trying to figure out how the Midnight Knitter knit those and got them on the trees -- the only way I can see is actually knitting them on the trees, with circular needles, unless there's some seam that the picture doesn't show.

Nevermind. I looked closer, and I do see seams.
