Interesting morning. Got woken up about 8AM by a very large explosion. At first, I thought something had fallen over -- like my neighbor's house. All of my neighbors and I walked out in our backyards, in various stages of sleepware and hastily donned clothing, looking for rubble or smoke or heavy artillery or something but everything looked okay. The consensus was a power transformer blew somewhere in the neighborhood, but we still had power, so it probably was a few neighborhoods away. Ten minutes later, Georgia Power trucks came trundling down our street, so the transformer theory seems to be confirmed by circumstantial evidence.

And where were you, Ms. GardenGnome, at approximately 8AM Eastern Daylight Time?

Do you have proof of that?

Can I see pictures ;-)

Aha! The photo is obviously doctored. 8AM Eastern time is 7AM Central time. Unless the window behind you has an Eastern exposure, there shouldn't be that much light behind it that early in the morning. Therefore, you were either in Atlanta at the time of the explosion, or you are craftily trying to cover something up.

Either way, you are now my primary suspect. Or...should I say...you're #1 on my Most Wanted list ;-P (cute concentrating stare, BTW)

Not a doctored photo, but one taken at 8 am my time.

and heheee, yeah, that was me doing "concentration" ;)

Objection! The witness has not been read her rights.

Ah, so she's a witness now? I thought she was in Kansas and the explosion was in the Atlanta suburbs.

Nikki, perhaps you need another lawyer :)

I move for a mistrial, because I don't like Marcus anymore. He's a big ol' meany to me and my client.
