This morning I checked cnn.com, as I do everyday, and their headline photo showed earthquake damage in St. Louis. Captivated, I read on. The center of the earthquake was 133 miles east of St. Louis. I did the math and wondered why they didn’t say the center’s in Evansville, Indiana or damn close. Christ, why not say the center is twelve hundred miles west of New York City?

I thought this behavior more appropriate for a Californian.
