Quick! Grab Your Surfboards!

So, the tsunami scare turned out to be kinda over-inflated. But then we all knew in our heart of hearts that it wouldn't be as life-threatening as we were told it could be.

Let's not all drink the kool-aid on this one.

My brother lives on the coast and we talked about his options come the waves of the tsunami. We agreed that it would be prudent to move the car out of the low-level parking garage and get it up to the street and maybe behind a building or two... He lives on a promontory above the beach overlooking Monterey Bay and it's close enough to the water that I thought maybe he should go for a drive and head inland. But in the end it was a miss not a hit.

Good enough.

After all we've got enough to worry us.

Global Warming
New Diseases and Plagues
Potential Ice Age Coming (ironic, isn't it?)
Pollution
Republicans (oops! I promised to be non-partisan)
Pests
End of Oil

The list goes on and on.

But then I look out of my window at a beautiful partially cloudy sky and realize that as long as there is breathe, there is hope.

Or as the old Romans would say,

"Dum Spiro Spero"

Let's paint a smile on our clown faces and get ready to dance while we can.
