There's something very odd going on in my hometown:
Booms -- and the mystery behind them -- unsettle Wisconsin town
With a population of about 4,600 people and located just east of the middle of Wisconsin, Clintonville is small enough and far enough away from anything else that it takes something really loud to shake up the town.
But that's literally what's been happening since Sunday night. Loud booming noises have shattered the air and rattled the ground in parts of the town, wrenching many residents out of their sleep. And no amount of investigation has determined the cause, city administrator Lisa Kuss said in a telephone interview.
“We’ve checked everywhere,” Kuss said. "We checked the dam, the landfill. We’ve consulted with the military. There is nothing going on. We’ve checked with local businesses and there’s nothing there. There’s no blasting. We’ve checked mining, quarries and pits. Nothing.”
The mystery booms began Sunday around 9 p.m. and ran to about 3 a.m., affecting mainly the northeast quadrant of the city, Kuss said. But the sound and vibrations were felt in many other parts of the city, sending people from their beds outdoors into the dark -- sometimes in their pajamas.
WTF? Also, I was not in Clintonville when this happened.
That's, uh, a little unsettling.
if anyone here saw any ads for the Grammys, they have heard Adele
Could not tell you when the Grammys were, so there's that.
Everyone is very surprised to see me at the office. I feel like I've done my due diligence, and I want to go back home now.
Since Sunday night, or just on Sunday night? Either way, huh!
Can I just say how much I love my massage place? They just sent out an email warning us that they are about to put out a Groupon so we regulars should pre-book for a few months. Nice!
We are in Madrid! It's the last stop of our whirlwind tour of Spain. Tonight we hit the Prado for 2hours, because it's free most nights from 6 to 8. And we accidentally had lunch at a world famous jazz club.
It would be great, except it's freezing and rainy and I'm whining a lot.
Tomorrow, churros and chocolate for breakfast and then the Royal Palace.
I have ticketsssssssssss.
Goddamn, that process was onerous. And the expense reporting will be worse, no doubt. But I'm going to Spain for real now!
eta:ahahah! And Consuela is where I'll be!
msbelle, it's not Fight Club. Because the first rule is not to talk about it, right? ::looks shifty::
This: [link] made me cry. This is why I should be working from home, dammit. The internet feels.

That made me cry too, ita. Thanks!
