Tsunami Scare by Ludovico

Well, yesterday was quite a day. While I was online early in the morning, sirens went off. Turned out to be a Tsunami warning, because of the tragedy in Chile.

I went with a friend down to Aiea Shopping center - it was packed. Living in a high area, we were safe, so we bought a bunch of junk food and batteries, in case the power went out. Filled water bottles (with tap water - I can spell Evian backwards), and watched TV.

I was really worried about friends in Hilo, and on Maui. Naturally, all the folks in inundation areas evacuated. Our channels basically showed the various beaches and harbors[b:tociopna][i:tociopna] for eight straight hours ![/i:tociopna][/b:tociopna]

There actually was a small series of waves, with the water rising and dropping at 20 minute intervals.

Amazingly, they gave no news of Chile at all. 8 damned hours of nothing. Now, there are two places that need lots of help.

Anyway, just thought I’d share. I’m feeling kind of ill this morning from eating too much chips & dip.

However, the folks in Chile need our help, along with Haiti!

Okay - before complaining about booze prices in Europe, visit a Belgium supermarket and look in the beer section. Check out the doubles and triples! Then visit a French supermarket and check out the wine section. Then come to the U.S and compare. You folks have it made - booze wise!

I’m leaving on vacation today - plan to drink a lot.
