'Dya Feel It?
I half woke up about five this morning. There was a rumbling, a shaking, I imagined it was something expensive in the air conditioning. I heard my wife shifting. "I wonder what that vibration was?" I said. "Unh huh," she said.
Don't get too many of those out this way...

woke me up too, Jim
I hadn't gone to sleep until after 3 so I should have been out cold but this lasted long enough to wake me and then for me to think "this is definitely a quake"
In the title of this blog, the apostrophe is supposed to replace the missing letter. In this case, the "o" is missing from the word "do" so it should read:
D'ya Feel It
o, o-o, o, o
you don't have to go
o-o, o, o
daily reminder of the coming Dem disaster:
today, the lowest approval ratings yet for BO were released:
Ramussen 45
Gallup 44
and
FOX
a rock
bottom 43
let's hopey that Barry doesn't drill below that rock bottom
he's liable to hit some nasty sludge that will spew out uncontrollably
"WASHINGTON (July 16) -- President Barack Obama acknowledges that the fall elections could amount to a referendum on his stewardship of the nation's affairs.
Obama tells NBC in an interview that "nobody in the White House is satisfied" with continuing high unemployment.
But he also says the midterm congressional elections could come down to "a choice between my policies, that have definitely worked, or policies that only might get us out of this mess."
The president also said Washington "has spent an inordinate amount of time on politics - who's up and who's down - and not enough on what we're doing for the American people.""
words of wisdom, Barry
we'll use that in our TV ads this fall

Actually, this is a colloquial contraction of "Did you." The apostrophe substitutes for the letters "D" and "i", and "you" is condensed to "ya," as Americans use it in common speech.
I'm on Jim's side in the apostrophe controversy
I am in Costa Rica right now and wish I was there to see everyone running into the streets screaming... When I was living in Chile and Mexico we had quakes over 8.5...a 3.6 would not even wake me up!
I am glad everyone is safe and sound, though.
Pura vida.
