Homer Watson, of New Madrid, Mo. invented a new drink after his prize milk cow, Betsy was trapped in a snow drift, then severely shaken by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Homer says he'll soon make a decision on what to call the delicious new drink. Names he is considering are a Betsy, a Cow Quake, a Drifty or possibly, a Milk Shake.
