April Update
April 2 2011
Greetings my Dear Readers,
Its been a month since my last post. A lot has happened in that short time spam.
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
I started a post the day the 9.0 Earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, but alas life stepped in and prevented it from being posted so now here I am trying to play catch up.
As some of you may know, the 2008 No Fear Inventational took me to both Narita and Tokyo, Japan so when the 8.9 earthquake (it was later upgraded to 9.0) and Tsunami hit Japan last month it hit home a little harder with me then most that I know.
Like many others I spent that morning glued to the t.v. watching live footage of death and destruction come in from half a world away. It was disturbing to say in the least seeing coastal area I had visited completely destroyed, and wondering if some of the wonderful people I met while there, were still alive. Their fate still remains unknown. All I can do is hope for the best.
Needless to say, my thoughts and prayers have been with the people of Japan.
Life in Hell
Life here in this pathetic waste land of so very little has been far from boring. Mother nature has launched an assault on my compound here in the depths of hell that has left me battling my own Tsunami of water brought on by Spring snow melt.
Last Spring my compound held its own with little difficulty while many around me fought with flooding basements and water logged property. This year it appears mother nature decided it was my turn and my days are spent in a non-stop battle with water. Although I have pulled out the stops and put in long hours, mother nature appears to be getting the edge on me. I have yet call in back up, I'm hoping my latest investment will help stem the tide and put me back on top of the situation.
Regardless of who wins this confrontation, Mother Nature will have the final laugh as I'm sure the repair costs and aftermath will leave me spinning for sometime after.
Time for a Break
In an unexpected turn of events medical issues have sidelined me from the battlefront of my primary vocation for awhile. Hopefully this will free me up to step up my battle with Mother Nature for property control, and perhaps allow me to further explore this Hell on Earth I find myself in. Perhaps with a little luck I can find a way to rework this worthless no man's land into something a little more salvageable.
Expect a few more posts, as I should have a little more time
Until next time,
From the Sidelines,
Your Cold Hearted Bastard,
D.
