Thoughts and Prayers

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan, who have suffered such a devastating major earthquake and series of strong aftershocks and tsunamis. As a resident on the other side of the "ring of fire", who has experienced a few not-so-major shakes, my heart goes out to you, and to the other nations affected by the tsunamis. As I write this, Hawaii is under a tsunami warning, with mandatory evacuations, and I know there are many other areas that will be affected.
