Yeah, nobody really knows what to make of the potential radiation. At least the Tsunamis were minimal here. I have many friends in the part of Japan where the waves were really awful and am not looking forward to the news I am pretty sure is coming about some of them.

I hope your next day off is as good as the last one.

So true, and while we expect the authorities to take a posture of "order will be maintained" the shift in news outlets approach is really not of any help, anywhere, ever. Once upon a time the news was, at its best, simply the news, being reported and known facts and when presented at all separated from possibilities as a result of news very clearly. Now it seems as though editorializing and far worse passes for news reporting. My mother was a journalist and editorial writer and knew well the difference. She would be appalled at what passes for reporting today. I have an old merc friend who was in Sendai and who is also fine and helping, but his accounts differ from the official and media line so much that its hard to merge the three. Its as thought I am hearing about three different events as opposed to the same one.

I understand things are getting more active and hope you have continued success and that you stay well.
