you're all mad! I have been out on the lake (the big lake just east of Kyoto) in the snow though
had to try out the PL Charger when it arrived
We're fine - we felt the quake as a sickening rolling motion but that's as much chaos as we copped ...
Nick from HangTime who posts on here is fine too - they got an 80cm tsunami where he was but he lives a way inland from the beach. I don't know how all the riders in Tokyo etc are ... haven't managed to touch base with my local club house owner who has in-laws in Tokyo!
My home town is actually Christchurch, NZ too ... I think someone is trying to tell me something

Thousands of deaths in your country... and using smilies... I don't get it....fourth degree sense of humour?.... way to forget this tragedy?...
My heart goes out to the people of Japan

Phil
so basically you are saying nobody should smile or have a positive attitude?
It is unbelievable what the people in the danger zone are having to endure but that doesn't mean that all of the earth should be sad all of the time.
They need us now more then ever, to share joy and happy thoughts. The people who survived this have enough reality around them. Life will go on. People will continue to strive, suffer and fail all over the world. The sooner everyone is able to put a smile on, the sooner life gets back to normal. Stop focusing on the pain, it is only one of the emotions we are capable of feeling.
I wish the best for all of the survivors, and hope they will be posting with smiley faces sooner then later.
You cannot change what has happened you can only influence what happens next.
Sincerely
Pete

You know that I'm not. What's wrong with that?
Hope you and all the people you love are safe
