Sorting it all out?

After (checks watch) 4 years of neglect, I felt it necessary to post a few words in response to what has been the worst disaster to hit the Japanese shores since the final days of World War II. While none of my friends or wife's family were near the more devastated areas, they are all feeling the emotional stress of uncertainty. Leaking radiation... Random power outages... Food and fuel shortages along with the accompanying price hikes... The fear of another mercilessly hot summer was heightened as the government announced that air conditioners would only be used in certain areas throughout the country. Noting that Japan's population numbers lean greatly toward the elderly suggests the death toll from March's earthquake and Tsunami may be increased by late September.
