Such sad news.
It looks like 2011 is starting off on a sad note. |

Correct, it was a comment on the live feed that I noticed, but events have moved on since .... Our friend and her kids are well, they were in Tokyo - However her father was in Sendai and there has been no contact with him .... |

And there's been at least a partial melt-down:

I was thinking, I'm missing the green. But, it's only the middle of March, the growing season must still start... Can you imagine this would have happened at the end of the growing season (September)? No grasses coming to cover the devastation with a green shroud and only dark, gray and brown days to look forward to?

All State and County workers were off and all but one of the schools were closed, but it was a furlough day anyway. My trash didn't get picked up until Saturday. KHVH reported that all Federal workers (me) were "encouraged to stay home", but I was almost at work when I heard that so I went ahead and went in anyway. Lucky for me, ‘cause it was a figment of someone’s imagination. We had one man who didn’t show up, and he got into a little trouble. |

That area of the world is going through so much trauma and heartache, that for us who are not involved it's impossible to comprehend.
One significant fact that I have noticed amongst he population is; there is no looting, nor turning on each other in times of disaster. Cheers |

They did keep one road closed for a good part of the day as they tried to clean up debris and such. |

It has been an awful start to the year... First the Floods in Queensland, then the cyclone Yasi... Soon after that came the more destructive earthquake in Christchurch, and now just 2 months after our flood the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan..
I can't help to think what's next?? All my thoughts and prayers at the moment to the people of Japan, the ones who have family and friends there and to those deeply disturbed by the incident (such as children around the world) |
