Pondering the future of Japan.

The future of Japan does not look good to me. They would have been able to eventually recover sooner if it was only the earthquake and tsunami but when the nuclear issue happened all bets were off.  How much of Japan will become uninhabitable and for how long? I never realized Japan had so many nuclear plants.  What I find kind of scary is building all those plants in an area that is so prone to earthquakes. The US also could face this same problem someday. They have a number of plants built by major fault lines. They can say they have plans in place for any situation so there is not much danger to anyone.  As we can see their plans are not working very well.  Maybe,eventually, they might be able to get it somewhat under control but the danger will always be there.         By then we just might be hearing from another potential problem. With all of those earthquakes and after shocks a volcano or two might just wake up and show it's power. ...

Pondering this, that and other things

Here it is 5:16 in the am. I wanted to stay in bed longer except the husband had his buzz saw going and would not shut it off. I decided to check things out on line for awhile. I now have my new computer so I've been checking it out. I do have a web cam but I'm not to sure how I will use it, for sure. But hopefully once I'm comfortable with it I will use it from time to time to post something here. In other news it looks like winter outside, again. It should be melted by this afternoon, I hope. It looks like the community theater will be finally putting on a play. It's called Shout! A Mod Musical. I will be back stage as I don't sing very good at all. I hope they can make a go of it or this just might be the last show ever. If that happens I will have to find something else to get involved in, so every once in awhile I can break up my very boring life. Someone said I should write a play based on the letters that were sent to my grandpa. I have thought about...

Pondering the Volcano and other things

It's another quiet Sunday morning here and I am up a little later then last time. It's already light out. I don't see the sun itself yet but it won't be long. I have been watching the news about the volcano that's spewing ash all over Europe. What a mess. I wonder how long it will doing that? I think last time it spewed it did it for 13 months. Can you imagine it spewing for over a year disrupting air travel? All the things that will get messed up. To sum it up, the whole world economy. No planes in the sky. People will have to travel by bus or boat or car. The weather will get more messed up. Breathing for some people, if not most people, will be harder.We will be dusting ash off everything. I think some people think that we as humans should be able to find a way to control it. What I mean is that there will be people complaining to governments about it making it sound like they should stop it.Well, they will know it's not possible to stop a volcano from eru...
