My Timing

Jackie emailed me the other day to let me know that she had experienced an earthquake. It was centered off the Island of Shikoku and was according to the news reports a 5.2 on the Richter scale. She said it was over by the time she realized what it was.
My timing seems to be right. I am sure that it would have really freaked me out to be there during an earthquake. That would have been too much excitement to take in.
Besides missing the earthquake, I also show great timing, by leaving before her "creepy crawly buggy" season. A few days after she left, she found a very long centipede on the living room floor. She thinks it was the poisonous kind. (Shudder). The day or so after that she found a 3 inch long spider in the room behind where I slept. (Shake).
I am aware that the lush land of Japan cannot come without it's fair share of bugs and insects. I am just thankful that they showed up after I left.
I have finally looked at all my digital pictures of Japan and love the feeling and memories that they bring. I am just starting to work through Jackie's pictures. In the same manner I have been working on setting up some of my pictures o1n Flick r. So let me set you up with a link. I hope it works.
