ME! | Self

So why is the house shaking... Felt like a long 4-5 earthquake at 5:02

Third Annual Pipe Dream
(Polydor 1974)

The 10 songs on this album, including 8 written by Buddy Buie in conjunction with other band members, show ARS to have become both tighter in their playing and more polished in their song presentation. The band's pop oriented songwriting and diverse musical stylings-characteristics that would distinguish them from the rest of Southern Rock-are displayed to great effect and show a band coming into their own. The album opens with Doraville, their first regional hit that's a rocking tribute to the town where Studio One was located. Blues In Maude's Flat is an instrumental that shows off the group's musical skills to fine effect. The song Angel (What in the World's Come Over Us) showcases the band's ability to mix tempos and styles in a longer piece with outstanding musicianship.

1974

I knew it came out just before something big happened in my life.
Graduated HS....June, 1970.
Graduated college... Summer '74.

Glad it wasn't a Jeopardy question.

Don't feel bad, I went down to the Mariott Marquis last Thursday, took the test to try to get on Jeopardy, didn't make it. Only 8-9 out of 75 did, though, and I didn't do well in getting questions in "my" categories.

That is the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant. It has never been activated. The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant is a very large Nuclear power generating facility located South of Athens, Alabama on the Tennessee River.

It was the victim of a notorious fire in 1974.

Aw, it was just me and the missus. Sorry we woke you guys up.

Knocked one of the cars off its blocks in my lawn :-)

Next time you are in downtown Atlanta, hmmmmm, look at the dome of the capital building. All that glitter up there is Dalonega gold - They have to replenish it every once in a while, but it all comes from GA.

Anyone who wants to participate in the USGS' felt-intensity survey should click on this link:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/Quakes/usteak.htm

And then on the "Did you feel it?" link on the bottom of that page. They'll ask you a series of questions to estimate the felt intensity, so that a map can be generated of the effects of the quake across the region.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Done.

Yes, one reason for the removal of the Cherokees was all the alleged gold to be found in northwest Georgia. The faultline responsible for today's shaker runs along interstate 59 through northeast Alabama. There have been some serious earthquakes in the Southeast in the past. The Charleston earthquake of 1886, killed 60 people in Charleston, SC, and effected the entire South. Wells and springs as far away as Rome Georgia dried up when the limestone formations underground cracked, thus rechanneling water in the aquifer.

Nick Jebeles of Remlap, Ala., said he and his wife also were awakened.

Remlap, Alabama, got it's name from settlers from Palmer, Alabama. They liked their old home so much that they wanted to name it Palmer also, but since the name was already taken, they called their new home Remlap. Palmer spelled backwards.

Lose weight. :-)

[FactQuest]

"loose weight"

lol - good one.

[Jael]

You could very well be right about that lyric! I went for years thinking that "New Attitude" by Patti Labelle said "New Pair of Shoes"!

Neon Nights was the best ARS song. :-)

[LowOiL]

BTTT

[LowOiL]

Another BTTT for the afternoon Southerners to ponder.

Evening review.

[lentulusgracchus]

Eddie is probably right about that lyric, though I'd have to pull out my old album (I only had the one ARS album) and check the liner notes to be sure.

[Gen Y puppy to Gen X'er: "What's a liner? What're 'liner notes'? What's he talking about?"]

Nice to know there are still some ARS aesthetes around!

[Consort]

It happened in Alabama a few days ago.

4.5 magnitude earthquake

4.5? I don't even feel those out here. The building shakes worse if you turn the stereo up loud.
