Three Weeks...

since the "Big One." Aftershocks have diminished. Power outages are few and short. Food and gasoline are readily available again in the area. The Japanese people have put their shoulders to the proverbial wheel and are getting on with things. The task of searching for victims and the massive clean up grind on. They will build again and build better. Other news in the world has distracted people from thinking about Japan. Here were not likely to forget any time soon.

And now the Monday morning quarterbacks are out with their "told you so". I'm still sleeping in my sweats and jacket in case I have to escape during the night but less shaking means better sleep. Trains are running on holiday schedules but that only makes about 15 minutes difference in the time it takes to get somewhere in town. My teaching job is cut as there are only 11 kids between the two classes which usually have 18 to 20 each. I don't know if they have left for good or are just taking a bit longer spring break.
