Today is trash collection day. I set an old vacuum cleaner out about 6:45. We have a guy in a black pick-up who cruises our neighborhood, the "Golden Ghetto", and picks up items that were put at the curb. By 7:15 the vacuum was gone. Great recycling method.

Watching the news about the tsunami this morning. They kept showing a rock which I believe is on the Oregon coast just south of Seaside, Oregon, one of our favorite places. On the coast highway there signs that this a "tsunami area." Who would have believed it until today? The motel where we would stay could be in a world of hurt. I hope not.
