The hotel is in good shape but the karma is tense. The flight ops and inflight VPs are holding two a day briefings to keep everyone up to date. I went to one but left when it turned into a ***** session. My two favorite lines were, "everything is fine right now but stay close to the hotel so we can find you"

Wired internet was down in the rooms but the wireless was working fine in the lobbys and restaurant. Looks like there is at least one rolling blackout per day and laundry is now running two days.
All I can think of.........except my admiration of the Japanese just took at big jump upwards. All this devastation and no looting or crime increases. No price gouging, in fact it's just the opposite. Truly amazing people.
I know, I know. I'll go to my room.
But before I go, how many earthquakes did you have there?
And did any of ya'll see this thing on if dead fish wash up by the thousands its usually a precursor to an earthquake due to toxins suffocating the oxygen out of the water or vibrations? I wonder if that's true? They did have those fish wash up in Los Angeles area earlier in the month.
Anyways, if I see dead fish and it's not because Satch or Tsquare threw car battery in the pond for the fish fry, then I'm going to sleep in the doorway.
