TROUBLE IN PARADISE

I've had so damn many problems with my computer lately, including about 300 spam messages a day! It keeps shutting down on me, freezing the mouse, and I have to reboot it.

EARTHQUAKE

This one was like a small boat in the ocean riding some pretty heavy swells, and it seemed to last...too long. But, all in all, I cannot understand why so many people put their houses up for sale right after a quake. I'll bet a couple of thousand people will be moving east or north now. Many of them will move to Kansas or Nebraska, and that makes me laugh. Cyclones kill many more people in a month than earthquakes do in a year.
