Katie has started taking black and white pix, example included. It is absolutely bucketing rain here and it will continue during the entire weekend.

I may settle for trekking down to the pool.

A mental health professional working in Indonesia says that now that the immediate crisis is over – and they are STILL recovering 300 bodies a day in Aceh – the mental health crisis will be of such proportions as to beggar description. He expects the death toll to top 300,000 and gives full marks to the Indonesian government for everything they’ve done and how they’ve mobilized (although I imagine he HAD to say that if he wanted to keep working there).
Shout out to everybody who supported Paul and me with phone calls during the whole nasty are you or are you not laid off crap.
