My how quickly things change

Today's observations:

• Nuclear power plants - I'm on the fence, but right now, not looking like a good choice
• Charlie Sheen takes act on the road.  What exactly is the 'act'?
• Spring - where oh where are you?

Well the world has changed dramatically in the last few days (literally and figurtively).
First, an earthquake (9.0) hits just off the coast of Northern Japan.  Horrific enough, but then a tsunami forms and obliterates entire villages there.  And now their nuclear reactors have experienced damage from the quake and the backup cooling system was destroyed in the tsunami.  So now these people have to deal with possible radioactivity.
This whole scenario saddens me to no end.  The sheer destructive power of these forces is incredible.
The earth's rotation sped up some number of microseconds, the axis shifted, and Japan and islands along the coast have shifted 8 feet closer to the U.S.
I'm posting a link here to some astonishing video from this tragic event - Japan Earthquake/Tsunami 3-11-11

Please help if you can. Donate, pray, and think of ways to make your part of the earth a little better for the good of everyone on the planet.

Keep hope alive....
