It’s been a long and disastrous day..
Scores of people have been killed by disaster on earth.. Millions around the world, if not billions, watched live coverage on TV, the internet, and radio.. Every medium of information was busy speculating on disaster..
No better time than now for a silent, quiet, and peaceful lullaby..
Bing Crosby “TOO-RA-LOO-RA-LOO-RA”
Be at peace.
Goodnight.

Calling all angels…
You’re needed in Japan.

What to make of a day like this..?
Images of ruin .. photos of destruction .. voices of horror .. moments of devastation. Everything that mattered stopped mattering for a while today, as some monumental and massive development in the history of life took place. An enormous earthquake shook parts of the planet, altered time itself, moved an island, and caused a ocean wide tsunami that left destruction in its path.
And all of that was before sunrise in the land of the rising sun..
Japan has had its share of natural disasters before. But the calamity that hit the nation today turned parts of the country into a graveyard ocean.. The amount of dead could very well be shocking.
Yes.. what to make of a moment where it appears the world is on fire.. What to think of a moment in time where it seems stability is gone..
We’ve been here before as a civilization, and we will be again. But this time, for some reason, just seems a little different. Or perhaps just .. more.. real.
Now that nature did its attack today, it’s time for humanity to try to stop another disaster from happening in Japan: A nuclear meltdown.
Wish humanity luck. It seems to need it as of late.
Maybe one of the more frightening images from a day of absolutely horrific sites from the Pacific ring of fire.. This is the giant whirlpool that developed, like a scene from a science fiction movie.. This wasn’t a movie, but instead all too real.
Time. Don't let it slip away
NASA: Japan’s quake was so strong it sped up the Earth’s rotation by 1.6 microseconds..
Not trying to doom and gloom up a Friday.. But
Two Russian Kamchatka VOLCANOES ERUPTED almost simultaneously with the strong 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan More here
Not getting better, but worse..
Japan declares states of emergency for five nuclear reactors at two power plants: More..
Islands moved.. The earth sped up.. Boats and lives lost in a whirlpool
Everything the world saw today has been surreal, but real.. Frightening but true.. Seemingly fiction but fact. And ominous days will undoubtedly be coming next..
