We’re all on alert at the moment for the “impending tsunami”….. Its been a busy weekend! Monday will seem so boring without any natural disasters to entertain us.

On a separate but related topic….so, the Mayans predicted the world was going to end in 2012. Maybe its just the universe clashing a little bit but first Haiti, then here, then Chile, now tsunamis….maybe this is just the beginning? Today when they we’re ordering the evacuations my friend Cat was telling me the Japanese were lining up on the seawall to watch The Great Wave come in. On the one hand- how dumb. On the other hand- if you’re gonna go, you might as well have a front row ticket for the end.

In all seriousness, as much as Im making light of the situation, I am counting my blessings. The earthquake that hit Haiti was 7.0 and it created such devastation. The earthquake here was the same magnitude and aside from some burst water pipes and a few things being knocked over in the house, no one has so much as a scrape on them. Things of course, could have ended so much differently.
