It is a bit dis­con­cert­ing when, you go in to go to the bath­room and the water in your toi­let tank is gen­tly sway­ing to and fro. It does give you pause. This is not the first time I have observed this strange phe­nom­e­non. I have just cho­sen to ignore it. Here are my thoughts. “Hmm…that’s strange.” “Hmmm…wonder if we are hav­ing an earth­quake?” “Hmm…wonder if I should call some­one.” You get the gist. I always, and I am so proud of myself, go first to the base­ment to make sure no sewage is enter­ing the house thru the base­ment drain, and then peak out the back door to make sure the sewer gas pipe is still in place and not bent, then I check the ground to see if there is any sink­ing, or tell­tale bub­bling, and can I just say in win­ter with 4 ft. snow drifts that is con­sid­er­ably eas­ier?.  If all things equal a no I sort of for­get about it and hope I don’t get splashed. Now I am won­der­ing if I shouldn’t track this as we are once again hav­ing a sleet/ice/rain/snow fun day and if the two aren’t con­nected? I don’t know why they would be but it seems alot more fun then call­ing a plumber and hav­ing him come out and pay him to stand there and go “Hmmmm”. I am per­fectly capa­ble of that myself and I’m lots cheaper. So as much as it puz­zles me I will prob­a­bly ignore it this time. Life on a farm is noth­ing but fun. Am think­ing mild earthquake.….hmmmm.
