Japanese Disaster

The temperature has dropped, and the wind has picked up, causing the wind chill to drop down to -44 again.
The plane actually arrived at about 12:15 PM, three out of our four stock boys actually showed up on time, and it only took an hour and a half to get all the pop into the warehouse.
With the charter flight going well, and the only thing that I have to worry about is turning up the heat to stay warm, it sure makes me glad that I'm not in Japan right now.  This isn't exactly breaking news of course, but we just finished watching a dateline hour on the aftermath.  Incredible!  A country that is so prepared for disasters (since they are in an earthquake zone, on a country built by volcanos), that is now in such ruin.  Never mind the fact that this is the third biggest financial zone in the world.  It's just impossible to look at the pictures coming out of there, and imagine how they are ever going to clean it up and rebuild.  And then, how is all of this going to effect the world economy?  Who can predict?  Of course all of the experts give their blah, blah, blah... but none of them know.  Where do you begin?  It's all so overwhelming!  I'm not sure that I've ever been so glad to be a million miles away from anywhere, like I am right now to be a million miles away from Japan.

Stay tuned.
