Close to a year ago, (August 27th) I had just comenced a world trip which would begin in Lima, heading later for the Andes and Machu Picchu. Today its widespread news that Coastal Peru was hit by a massive 7.9 earthquake with the risk of tidal waves. Best wishes and safe thoughts go out to the people of Peru and the locals we met along our way. now if only LA would follow suit and slide into Arizona Bay. Wishful thinking.
"Hundreds dead in Peru earthquake"
A strong earthquake and at least four aftershocks have struck off the central coast of Peru. At least 350 people have been killed and 200 injured in the southwestern cities of Ica and Pisco. Alan Garcia, Peru's president, sent condolences to the families of the earthquake's victims and said the country, which has suffered devastating earthquakes in the past, narrowly escaped a major disaster.

hmm scary stuff indeed.
were very lucky to not encounter stuff like this as often as the rest of the world.
although im sure we'll get ours sooner or later.
its things like this that are proof that the world i suppose is on its way out. the weather has had such a dramatic change. the seasons are all coming later/earlier. there are more storms blah blah blah all that.
either that or its just some sort of large scale season that will last 100 years before it moves onto the giant autumn or whichever is next.
perhaps?
ideas?
ie: the ice age i figure was just the larger scale version of winter. maybe were in summer now and in a bazillion years itll be autmn or winter again!
hah were all screwed royally :P
LMAO, agreed on your last comment. but it doesnt stop me from doing or thinking the way i do. if anything its stuff like this that reminds us we are human, and to live each day to the max, dont look forward for the next 60 years.
all in all i hope im living in the generation who gets off their ass and finally gets to Mars and the stars... this third rock from the sun is dieing and we are not helping.
perth may be the ass end of the world, but at least we are relatively safe from everything lol.
S.
WHAT? SAFE? YEH... I don't think so! lol :) Never say never! But then again time will tell. (Murder, theft, bashing ) want some more? ha ha
Still it is sad when you think of where you would have been this time last year hey?
