Yes I think we saw those new SUVs or vans at the rebound of the water, back to the sea. They were parked there to be picked up & shipped to some firm just a bit later of that day.

It definately is an amazing thing to read. I remember it being on Cdn TV news & apparently the dog sort of wandered here of there before he rescue people could get it to jump over other pieces of debris & looked health. Still when you think of it a normal dog does not need a LOT of food & might have found something (?) to eat on the floating debebris.

Sitting like that, as one questioned, is traditional even over here in North America when at Judo.
Not to my liking, at the time for I was suffering with damaged knees from many dirt comp events of where the bike & I sort of parted. I know the Doctors complained about all the dirt & gravel in the knee section to other things that were toren & damaged like a cartlide or so.

Being such an outsider it is hard for me to realize these traditions have been going on for so many years in Japan.
For in North American the USA & Canada have such a short history in life & so much more.
Very pretty to my eyes

With that earthquake & failure in the nuke electrica supply, it is not surprising that some of the underground petrol tanks do not have normal electrical pumps to bring up the petrol. It is definately a very, very interesting photo & shows how some people are using their brains.
The days of hand pumping up the petrol into a special glass container eyed by the owner or one to collecting the money is a thing that went away back in the mid-50s here in North American to also Canada.

One has to wonder why 70% of the voters in Germany are against a nucuclear power plant only guess after this the percentage will even be higher against such power plants.
When one thinks of it these 50 units in Japan, to 104 in the USA, to five in Canada, with just two in Procvince of Ontario & five in Quebec, but none in Western Canada ESPECIALLY as they are also OLD & we are to assume they are good for life?

I would not be able to prononce "Daiichi" as well for it is a town or city I have never heard. We had not critized anyone that cannot say Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for it is a bit of a bummer to say.
To late noe for CNN, for I would say "Quiet wasting the ammo up into the air for not only does in come down, but soon they will run out of ammuntion. Though they seem to know it now as they are asking for other countries to supply them with new guns & ammo.

Of interest a Japanese baby was just 2 yrs of age when the bomb was dropped. Went on to become a doctor to specialize in Cancer & has gone over to the USA to help those infected of normal cancer.

True the Americans have spent billions of dollars on many forms of robots that can see in the dark, talk, complete rotating & such. Darn well amazing & a bit frightning when one reads about what they have not to mention their drones in the air that can do so much it is hard to believe.

A good photo even at a time of stress & deaths in Japan. The photo perked up the outlook to-day on this situation in Japan. So thank you.

Considering the number of people in need of help, in Japan, that photo is close to nil of what is REALLY needed.

I was saying, around the same, on an American m/c board that when it comes to parts for our Honda, Yamaha,Suzuki & Kawsaki bikes. So it is a thought to us & since so many of us are driving cars or trucks made in Japan then the same.
Also Japan has turned out some lovely tractors, to catipillers, & so much more.

If something like this was in North America then people would be DRIVING their CARS for most do not have bicycles.
Though earthquakes & the water is not like that in our places.
Still good photo to wake people up.

Very good photo & I also think that is the end of the railway line as I cannot see the track in front of it.
Still this mess, the loss of homes or business along with loss of lives is really to hard for any of us Cdns to believe other then we know it is true due to the many good photos.

The people will need to be with others to chat a bit, to also have some food to water, washrooms to use, something to keep them warm AND they will need the sleep if they can obtain it.
This is quite a maze of people one has to admit so a good photo of the ties of stres.

Like the rest of you this is hard to accept as being life in those parts of Japan. Naturally one has to wonder if the reactors can be corrected & can these parts of Japan get back to normal-----honestly it boggles the mind for on news reports we can see it is snowing again.
