Mossyrock is where it originated. Funny thing I called my mom who lives closer to town and not as high up in the foothills as I do and she says she didn't feel a thing either. From what I gather by talking to my po-po (Sherriff's office) buddies that it was felt up in the hills more than anywhere else. Nothing like the one in 2001 and TOTALLY not even close to the ones that we had just before St. Helen's blew her top.

Thanks Jan! Your not the only one, but when I monkeyed around with the avatars I lost the pink chick one. I'll switch it back someday when I can get it back. I too loved the little pink chick avatar, wished I would have saved it before I deleted it.

Hey Pink - - -Do you get to stay home from work now ? ?

Here is Florida, if we get a hurricane or SNOW, then everything is canceled.

Speaking of the weather - - High of 79 F with off and on SUN SHOWERS. It is suppose to get REAL COLD here this weekend too. We will drop 15 - 20 degrees and highs in the low 60's. Burrrrr, I am going to be so cold then that I'll have to wear jeans all day.

SERIOUSLY Pink - - - all you OK with the earthquake ? ? It looks like you still have power . . . That is good!

Woah girlfriend. BACK THAT TRAIN UP !

Don't be hating just because I live where the winters are mild and the summers are full of HURRICANES!I spent this morning outside re-doing my roosts. Dh hung one really long one and hung it too high. I made supports for three smaller ones that I hung lower. I got to use Dh's power tool

I called Dh as I was starting out so that he could HEAR the power tools and KNOW there was nothing he could do to STOP me

I have TOO MANY chickens and can not figure out which ones to thin out. . . . I am attached to all of them ! !
I need to get started on the NEW COOP for the new hatches.

Does anybody happen to know if mossiness is simply a lack of melanizers or is it a more specific trait/gene than that?

I gotta work on expanding, too. BF decided we need some Dark Brahmas after seeing them at that show. I'll help you with that thining out process - how about some specked sussex?
