Murga is a form of popular musical theatre performed primarily in Montevideo, Uruguay during the Carnival season. A different sort of Murga groups ... also operate in Argentina (mainly during Buenos Aires Carnival), though to a much lesser extent, and the main difference is that Argentinian murga centers around dancing, and not vocals, as Uruguayan murga does.

You might be a Northwest Reno resident If …
# While shopping for a new dining room table, you bring the entire family to RC Willey [well-known local furniture store] to make sure you all fit underneath it.
# “Family Game Night” includes copious rounds of Uno, Scrabble and “Guess the Magnitude.”
# The USGS Web site is your home page, and you check the UNR Seismology site as frequently as you check your e-mail.
# You believe the “Triangle of Life” is so last week.
# You can now hear the earthquakes before they arrive.
# You are spackling and painting your walls — why not, there aren’t any pictures on them anyhow.
# You get mad at the kids when they’re snacking out of the earthquake bin in the garage.
# “I’ve felt 25 earthquakes today?” you reflect. “What a great day!”
# Your children know what “Rabbit in the hole” means.
# The “Living with Earthquakes in Nevada” publication that you found last week in the RGJ has become your coffee-table book.
# You know the exact latitude and longitude of your home.
# You can adeptly convert UTC to Pacific Daylight Time.
# Earthquake insurance brochures and estimates are in your “To File” stack.
# You debate the philosophical underpinnings of “aftershock or foreshock” with your family and neighbors.
# Wall hangings = floor leanings.
# You have narrowed down the lag time between an earthquake and the moment the magnitude posts to the UNR Seismo site to 11 minutes and 42 seconds – give or take.
# Your car is parked in your driveway — and not because there’s no room in the garage.
# You take a shower in your swim suit; after all, who wants to be naked when the “Big One” hits?
# On your nightstand next to the latest Eckhart Tolle book and your Carmex is a Maglite flashlight and a crescent wrench you’ll use to turn off the gas.
# The pharmacist doesn’t even ask if you need the briefing about Xanax anymore.
