Everybody in the Pool

It's been doin' some raining here. I'm getting ready to swim to the Library. Since I didn't get out to jog this morning, it will be great exercise. I'm trying to find my wet suit (full body covering used mainly for scuba diving), since it's a little chilly for just a swimsuit.
But even with flood warnings up in some parts of the state, we are a lot better off than Japan, where they had a very strong earthquake. I have a cousin living there with his Japanese wife. I really hope they are ok.
Early this morning, shortly after the earthquake in Japan, tsunami warnings were issued in Hawaii, as well as along the west coast of the US. It does make a little, even a lot, of rain seem insignificant. Compared to the life and death worries in Japan, swimming to the Library seems like a piece of cake.
Every day that I don't wake up dead, is a very fine day. We should always appreciate, and take advantage, of whatever moments of life we have.
