JSS: Spring Fever?-- SCV-- NTN-- Earthquake

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. SPRING FEVER-- Temp today in the upper twenties, sunny and NO wind! As such folks had a little touch of the spring fever. Just can't take much of this global warming. I saw folks in tee shirts, believe it or not. And Woodstock Willie, our local groundhog didn't see his shadow.


2. SCV-- Drove 36 miles to des Plaines for the Sons of Confederate Veterans meeting over breakfast at the Silver Stallion. Always good to get together with kindred spirits and talk the Civil War, history in general and current events.


3. NTN-- I went to new NTN sites #6 and #7 for the year. One was at Splinters in Palatine where I had a #1 ranking on the 10,000 point game with a perfect score, but a couple really good guesses. That happens sometimes.

Then, drove west to Cheeseburger in Paradise in Algonquin which just got the game. I had a #18 there. Old Jimmy would be so proud.


4. EARTHQUAKE-- We've talked to quite a few people in the area about the earthquake we had Wednesday morning. Quite a few didn't feel anything and slept through it. However, a lot of people did feel it, surprisingly quite a few were up for some reason at 4 am.
