I have a long shot request. I am working on decorating my son's bedroom and I am wanting to do a gallery wall with black and white historical photos of town. I would also love to put a lift ticket in a frame that is his birthday. Does anyone have a lift ticket from 12-2-23 that I could have?

Another thought would be to do a shadow box with matchbooks in it. Does anyone know of any local restaurants/establishments that have matchbooks available?

I didn't feel anything here in Forest Falls. I wouldn't have known had my phone's earthquake alert not gone off.

It didn't feel like the typical quick jolts like I often feel. Those were real long slow waves. It lasted 15-20 seconds, I'd estimate. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I had been up moving around. The cabin barely creaked, but it had a pretty decent movement with it. I love to feel them and that one was especially cool with the waves.
