You know guys..its tough being who you Are sometimes..

Today would be one of those times for me..

Today I found out that others have complete hope..and some have No hope ..

I find myself in a cunundrum..

I was in Miami ( Gables area ) when Hurricain Andrew plowed through Florida... Complete DESTRUCTION !! I mean Total devistation beyond my belief.. It Was Bad bad bad..

We camped together .. living together..packs together.. NO water or electricity for a month..

So I wake up this morning all gummed up for a full primer job on this new 40 footer that I just prepped for a week...do the job and come home with the news on Japan...

Im like ok.. ( dont have cable so I You tube it ) ..

My heart sunk very hard...I cant even take a bathroom break without thinking how bad this IS..

I have the comfort of my toilet .. and my heater just kicked in to my delight...why do I feel so...

MPO..this sux..

Have a good weekend all..Im taking it off...

YD.

I watched the news and videos in absolute horror. It gives prospective to how helpless we can be against nature and makes me be thankful for everything I have. It is a very difficult thing to comprehend.

Same as Bob on this. I have called and e-mailed all my business contacts over there. Everyone except 1 has replied or responded so far.
I am currently scheduled for 10 days in China starting 19th March. Have to see how things are I think.

Thin as it may be, there is a silver lining. I didn't hear or see a single word about Charlie Whatshisname all day.

A really bad day for many people. :(

Bad things come in three's I have been told, so with all the stuff that happened earlier in Auzz, this should be it for a while.

This goes to show you that it does not matter who you are and how much you have it can be taken away in a moment. Mother nature is one of the most powerful and unpredictable forces on this planet we have and she is not forgiving.

I have sat and watched this on the tube and it seems like a video game. The final tally if thats the word will be horendous, we will be given numbers and try to make sense of it all.

THe only sense i can make of this is how tiny and fragile we are as humans....One minute life is good...full of purpose a sense of direction or continuity....And in a blink of a eye that is all gone......Our budget woes and lost wages no longer seem so...important.

It might be a good thing if we all took the time to refelect a bit.
