Yay!! Rest assured that someone is beginning to look into our concerns and questions regarding the issues created by these shakes. Though our views on this matter may vary greatly, we can all be comforted by the fact that the situation is being reviewed. For this I am grateful...

Naturally...we all have a right to our opinions. You can say what you will, but folks who have lived around here all their lives say that these kinds of shakes have never before plagued this area...even with temperature changes. Hear tell of injection drilling west of Gassaway though. Hmmm.... mighty interesting....and a little scary too. Seems that there just may be more than Mother Nature at work here. Can't help but wonder why there's so much beating around the bush about it all. Why doesn't any one just shake SHAKE shake...shake their booty and get down to the bottom of all this rockin' and rollin' before some really serious issues are unearthed??? So what's the name of dis tune I wonder....and who's dancin'??!! Geesh...

maybe everything on this website is only words, only made up stories, maybe the words that you are reading here are not really words at all...foolishness, you cannot talk to stupidity.
