The earthquake guy is also the name of one of the Lincoln conspirators. I only know this because I live in the area to which they fled and things are named after those in the story.

9:58 am

MollyL

I also work for one of his descendants.

9:58 am

rururocks

Lincoln conspirators?

10:02 am

hurshy

JW Booth didn't act alone. he had conspirators. others were meant to kill other senior members of the gov't but they didn't... got drunk or otherwise chickened out or something... they were all hanged

10:02 am

MollyL

Yes, you are familiar with the Lincoln assassination?

10:03 am

rururocks

oh.. that far back.. sure..

10:04 am

hurshy

72 Temple Owl

storm is coming. it was over 60F. here today, cold front will come through tomorrow.

3:41 pm

Gillie

Apparently the way to get a cat to stop staring at you is to stare at them. People who are uncomfortable with cats often avoid looking at them, which has the wrong effect.

3:41 pm

lynxxx

Going to be 100F here today, all garden soaked and blinds drawn. Unhappily we have bush fires in one area of my state here that they haven't been able to get on top of.

Hello everyone - I'm sending this note on behalf of my mom (westford) - aka Nancy. She played Babble for many years and I believe was friends with lots of you. I'm so sad to let you know she passed away yesterday morning from heart and lung complications and loss of weight after about a month in the hospital and rehab, then hospice a few days at home. We will miss her dearly and just wanted to let you all know. Nancy's kids - Jo, Wendy, Erin, and Jon
