The USA and many others are recalling the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this week. Please remember all victims and loved ones.
Not one of my country's finest moments.
Good article from the New York Times.
Hurricanes and floods don't worry me in my area, but western Oregon is subject to disasters of another kind - earthquakes, and we are 'overdue' for The Big One. In order to become a bit more prepared I had this gizmo installed on my gas line yesterday - about $500. What does it do? Check this out. Hope I never have to have its utility tested.
