The world sometimes can be sadder than anyone can take.. Find solace in what you know.. somehow. Somewhere.

God bless earth.

Workers at Japan’s damaged nuclear power plant have suspended operations and evacuated, chief Cabinet secretary says.

And speaking of iodide, it's also worth mentioning: U.S. Surgeon General Encourages West Coast Residents to Buy Iodide Tablets...

The news is busy tonight telling people they don't need to take potassium iodide..

But I must ask, are they really surprised people are making runs to health stores for the little pills that are meant to protect the thyroid against problems? Are they really surprised people are worried about radiation.. And are they really surprised that people don’t 100% believe government statements that the ‘radiation will not reach California’?? ..

Very strange video from Japan: The ground moves, splits, and shakes.. As water begins to rise.

This video is real life. It’s not Hollywood, it’s not fiction. And it’s downright frightening.

A late afternoon wrap..

Not a full wrap— with news developing fast and furious, more information will be coming through the night..

NUKE PLANT CRISIS HAS ‘WORSENED CONSIDERABLY’…
Europe’s energy commissioner: ‘Apocalypse’…
Japan works to contain nuclear threat after quake

And as if we didn’t know:

Special report: Big California quake likely to devastate state

Can Japan go through any more hell on earth than they are?? Nuclear snow..quake near Tokyo.. Run on food and panic ensues.. It’s getting depressing, more than normal, watching news..

…and then the sun brightened the sky, and another typical day in the life of humankind began again…

Goodmorning, indeed.

WHY IS THERE NO LOOTING?

…It’s an interesting question posed by the UK TELEGRAPH..

Japan is filled with very decent, good people… but why no looting?

Why no violence? None.

Interesting readers and followers respond, I’d be interesting hearing your thoughts.

WHY IS THERE NO LOOTING?

Too early for Japan jokes?

For Gilbert Gottfried, it is.. He has been fired as the AFLAC voice for these two tweets, which may be a bit too much a bit too soon:

"Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them." He also posted: "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘They’ll be another one floating by any minute now."

Radiation levels have 'increased to levels that can impact human health' around Fukushima.. Japan is telling people around the plant to remain indoors..

This is a major amplifying up of Japan’s government’s statements. After days of calm, real warnings are finally beginning.. God bless Japan and its people… No one deserves to live through this.
