That is great news Earl - this is a very sad thing that has happened - not only in Japan but other places have been hit hard from earthquakes as well the past few weeks
I think mess doesn't even begin to describe it. I heard earlier today on the news that there was a 70% chance that they will receive another MAJOR quake (7+ on Richter scale, I believe they said). I pray that isn't going to happen...
My 86 year old father lost his house to a wildfire out in Silver City NM last week (no one hurt, even got the cats out). When I talked to him over the weekend he was more concerned with what's happening in Japan. One of those instances where there's always someone worse off. I think it gave him some solid perspective. He said he just lost 'stuff'.
