Tsunami Warning

First off, my prayers and good will to all who live in Japan, including my niece Akiko and her parents who live in Nagoya. I heard the news about the horrific 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan early this morning. No blog post can outweigh the impact of this catastrophe.

I haven't heard from any of my family in Micronesia or the Philippines, or the Mainland west coast. I did get a message from one of the shipping lines that I work with.

I have a container that just left Tacoma, WA last weekend, headed for Guam. I wish Horizon Lines would send updates too.
