Wow. It took me a sec to figure out what I was looking at but then ... wow.

What disturbs me most isn't the extent of the damage in this instance, but the fact that something *really* nasty[*], like the antarctic ice sliding off land and into the sea, would make this look minor.

[*] I'm not suggesting that this wasn't really nasty, and I don't want to downplay the magnitude of this event, but compared to possible events...

I said to Cam yesterday, while the news was on, "Remember the good ol' days when all we talked about was Iraq and Palestine?"

I'm personally so overwhelmed by the Tsunami that I choose not to think about it at all.

I'm only responding because I bought an enormous Olivia doll for my mother-in-law and your icon made me think of it.

I heart Olivia.

I gave my neice the Circus doll for Christmas, and I could see the tension and restraint that her grandmother exhibited, not wanting to grab it and play with it herself.

Fortunately, I got one for her, too.
