I feel cheated somehow. Will it arrive in time for me to catch Roz in San Francisco?

Here is what I heard from my friends John and Linda in Tarawa regarding the tsunami: "We're still here, although it was a little frightening to be awoken the other morning with the tsunami warning. People from our village moved to what there is of the "centre" of the island. We had two cameras set up on either side of the island. Many people in Bairiki went to the sports stadium - a few had lifejackets and objects for flotation. It was a beautiful day and the quietness was eerie - we think there may have been quite a lot of furious praying. Thank goodness the earthquake prone areas are some considerable distance away - may it stay that way. We can laugh now but it was all a timely reminder of how vulnerable we are." P.S.

Samoa is a long way away to the south, and it seems that the effects of the tsunami had dissipated by the time it reached Kiribati.

It may be difficult to obtain information but an acknowledgment of the situation would seem in order.

Colin Beavan aka No Impact Man wrote a brief blog yesterday <a href="http://noimpactman.typepad.com/blog/2009/09/respecting-commitment.html" rel="nofollow">"Respecting Commitment"</a> listing all 150 climate riders. Interestingly, you are listed <i>twice</i> on his list. You must have made a REALLY NICE impression ... or did you do your equatorial routine and cross the finish line twice?
