A Typical Morning for a disc jockey?

Here I post...for all to read the behind the scene story of what happens to a radio disc jockey on a typical day. The beginning of this day truly seems to be strange.

My thoughts are these:

So…the event of mid-April --- it turned out NOT to be TAX DAY after all in St. Louis.
No…it will be remembered for generations to come --- the EARTHQUAKE that awakened a large part of the Midwest this morning at 4:37am --- a 5.2 on the Richter scale – centered about 128 miles east of St. Louis --- with reports of windows rattling as far north as Michigan and southeast in Georgia and throughout Illinois, Indiana and Missouri - and people reported feeling the tremor in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Ohio .
I don’t know about you, but for me it will be forever etched in my mind because of my location…

I was up just a bit after 4 am – and when I’m up, I usually stay awake.

THIS MORNING…I will fully disclose…I was awake – fully awake. This little kitty cat had rubbed on my legs about 2 minutes before the temblor hit.
But…there I was…sitting…quietly in the dark…
Of all the things to be busy doing at 4:37 in the morning – and you’d think SLEEP would be the ONE THING I’d be doing – like the majority of St. Louisans…but…no…
…I was just finishing my journey across the house in the bathroom. On the toilet.

…TALK ABOUT A MOVING EXPERIENCE!!! Top THAT!
