MINANAO, Philippines, Jan. 1, 4:26 a.m. -- An earthquake strikes this island in the southern Philippines early on Saturday after a night of millennial celebrations. There are no immediate reports of casualties or damage...................Time for me to go to the festivities. You all have a safe and happy new year. I hope we can breath a huge sigh of relief real soon. Ed, if you read this post, Happy New Year good buddy, I never meant to cause you any grief....cya all later! Vern
