I'm going to save the story about there was also a 5.0 Peru Earthquake, too, save that until my next Edition due to it also having a GREAT Pic that goes along with it and I don't wish to post TWO Great Pics in one Edition because just one alone tends to become the default pic for todays blog and not telling how it will work with two, so this edition goes to press!!! Here's hoping everybody had a Great Christmas!!!!!
