Tragedy in Japan

You’ve all most likely heard about the 9.0 (now the official magnitude) earthquake that rocked Japan Friday.  You’ve probably all heard about the tsunami that followed, the warnings that the West Coast of North America received, a nuclear reactor being damaged in Japan, the rising death toll, the relief of anyone with friends and family in Japan as they receive news about their well-being, the idiotic remarks about this being karma for Pearl Harbour, and the plea for donations.

If you haven’t, then you’re probably also living under a rock and thus aren’t even reading this blog post.

It is a shame that I choose my first post on the new AAA site and new blog to be about this tragedy.  So to compensate I’ll keep this short.

Friday was a horribly slow day at work which made waiting unbearable for certain minutes.  Waiting for news is a grueling trial of patience and not letting your imagination run away.  I figure that with 2.5 million homes without power right now, there’s a chance that the last people we’re waiting to hear on are alive and just without power.  Believing that is certainly better than being pessimistic.

So I implore all you fine people reading this: please donate anything you can.  Check out https://www.aaapodcast.com/archives/1509/tsunami-relief for more deets.

Thank you all for letting me have my piece, I promise the next post will be more upbeat and more fitting for the launch of the new site.
