You are probably struggling as am I to find something good about the disaster in Japan. My silver lining is this-humanity. Amidst human greed, materialism, self-absorption and consumption, I sometimes find it hard to find a reason to believe in the human race. Today I found some hope and something that speaks volumes about Japanese culture. In the United States-if there is a hint of a snow storm, everyone goes to the grocery market and buys out the bread isle. Unrest in the Middle East leads to car bombs, road side bombs, killing. Riots in Los Angeles lead to looting, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans lead to looting on a shocking scale. In the middle of possibly the worst recorded earthquake resulting in a tsunami and the melt down of nuclear plants-not to mention it is winter and about to snow on all these displaced people-there is no panic. Hysteria and pandemonium are not wreaking havoc. In fact quite the opposite. As people are passing each other on the street-they are not saying

Just when you would be tempted to think that things couldn’t get worse for Japan-it does. Never mind the continued aftershocks from Friday’s 8.9 earthquake. Let’s overlook the painfully frequent tsunami sirens warnings after every aftershock. Oh and add to that rolling blackouts of power, lack of water, food shelter, 3 nuclear reactors on the verge of melt down and last but certainly not least-loss of life. Now it’s going to snow? The weather predictions indicate just above freezing temperatures as well as freezing precipitation that could trigger mudslides.  Mudslides of course are not a concern in the lowlands affected by the tsunami-but in the high lands where the earthquake may have shifted or loosened soil. It is hard to fathom that parts of a country as proud and powerful as Japan could be brought to its knees in a matter of minutes. It is hard to imagine what or how long it will take for them to recover.

Eddie would go? Eddie Aikau was a legend on the North Shore of Oahu. He rescued people out of water no one else would go in, he would surf waves no one else would ergo the saying “Eddie would go”. Since 1970 this saying has been part of Hawaiian Pop culture. There are variations like “Eddie wouldn’t tow” referring to the practice of jet skis towing surfers onto waves of the likes seen at JAWS. Then there is “Eddie wouldn’t crow” meaning don’t be a boastful and egotistical surfer. As we all know there was a devastating earthquake in Japan – well I guess yesterday now. The world has been watching the effects of the resulting tsunami. With all the sophisticated warning systems in place not to mention common sense-someone in Humboldt CA has been swept out to sea while taking pictures. I bet by the end of the day-someone somewhere will try to surf the tsunami. Except you

Earthquake Japan Update 1:00 PM PST: Next Stop South America Hawaii and greater North America seem to have emerged from today’s tsunami warnings relatively unscathed-so far a few broken boats here and there and minor shore front flooding. But the wave is still on the move and with little to slow it down combined with some very impoverished communities; it could mean the disaster continues. Industrialized nations such as Japan have engineers who design buildings with earthquakes in mind. Places like Hawaii and much of the coast of North America have early warning systems and evacuation routes, most of underprivileged South America does not. Coastal areas of Chile’s Easter Island have been evacuated and the people on the Galapagos Islands were ordered to take higher ground while tour ships moved toward deeper water. The waves generated by the tsunami are expected to reach Easter Island about 3:47 EST. Tour boats in the Galapagos have been instructed
