a sad tsunami update..

apparently my worldwide news sources were not complete - the unfortunate guy shown in the picture listed in yesterday's post DID NOT make it to safety..
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004601615,00.html

that article says they found his body half a mile inland. there seems to be some conjecture that helmut, the guy taking the photographs, should have jumped in to help the guy.. now, i'm not sure at what point compassion is to outweigh common sense, but i think it's safe to say that ol' helmut would have been death # 122,091 if he would have hopped in that torrent to try to save that kid. the whole thing is just tragic. more reasons to vacation in the mountains.
