I've been listening to a tribute album to Cole Porter, and one of the most interesting cover is done by Tom Waits. It substantiates my Louis Armstrong theory that all you need is a raspy voice and an American standard song. I'm going to go pick up a pack of cigarettes and a Gershwin songbook to put this theory to the test.

There was an earthquake this morning. In looking up information for it, I found a topographical website that looked pretty interesting.
