Well the snow hit us pretty hard today, considering we never get any, so the main roads are bumper to bumper slowness, but luckily I rammed through all the side streets with the Xterra in 4WD and it was actually somewhat fun :)

Back at work and sick as a dog, seems like I caught something on New Year's eve :(

Work isn’t really jumping either, we sadly lost one of our most talented artist over the holidays to illness, well miss you buddy :(

Something else I wanted to mention was the fact that very simple knowledge of the ocean and tides could have saved thousands of people in the Tsunami, Tell everyone you know that if you are at the beach (Ocean) and the tide goes out hundreds of feet within minutes, fish are flopping around because they couldn’t leave fast enough, RUN inland. Fast. Before most tidal waves/tsunamis, the tides will recede in minutes, the same thing happened in Hawaii in the 1950's but people ran down to the beach to take pictures and laugh at the fish, 150 people were killed on Hawaii alone that time.
