TBW Daily Diary

Was enjoying my coffee and was on the computer about 8:30 this morning when there was a big BOOM and the house shook. It sounded as if a huge armoire had toppled on the first floor. A quick check of the building top to bottom revealed nothing. Some time later I consulted with my neighbor Crash Webb and his house had been shaken too. He thought it might have been a delivery service dropping off one of those huge dumpsters. It wasn't until much later that we learned there had been an earthquake in the Dillsburg area big enough to have been felt here . . . Our neighborhood is under attack by dog owners who refuse to clean up after their pets. Several of us are alert and armed with cameras but the culprits have eluded us thus far. Trouble is, so many residents are insulted by this offense we are at a point where the signs telling owners to scoop are creating more litter than the dogs . . . Told you in January about my new Maytag dishwasher that Bob bought as a holiday gift. Today the company announced a major recall because of a fire hazard, but if I am reading the numbers right, my model is still safe . . .
