This morning as we finished breakfast I was still sitting at the table when a loud and strong boom shooked the house. I could feel it in my feet, my hands on the table and it felt like the air was compressed. My first thought was earthquake. I had experienced one of those in California. My second thought was that the gas well behind the house had exploded or the gas storage tanks. I went outside and could see no smoke near. I finally decided it was a sonic boom, because I sensed the second wave at the end of the boom and heard a high flying jet noise. I used to feel sonic booms in 1960 when the B-58 was making runs from FW to the Gulf of Mexico and flew over my office at TAMU. I had to think about the shock I felt after that has the strong boom and aftershock that is weak. I got on Facebook, contacted WBAP asking about reports on booms with no response, posted on my wall asking if anyone had felt the boom in Granbury and again got no response. It is obvious that no one reads my Facebook page.

I got my upper arm exercise this morning by helping Nancy trim the limbs that bothered her mowing. I loaded them in the trailer and unloaded them on the burn pile. Just about the limit of my strength, but I have had no strained parts. I really feel better from the exercise.
