Tsunami? What Tsunami.

After the massive earthquake in Chili, the Oregon Coast was under a tsunami advisory. Not a warning, like they had in Hawaii. They were expecting the waves to peak around 2:30 PM yesterday here. So we were interested in seeing a wave 90 degrees to the normal waves we get on the beach. Laura and I went out to the beach to watch, and wait. Nothing noticeable to report.

We have met a quite a few people from Hawaii, or who are now living in Hawaii, so we were concerned to what the magnitude and effect the tsunami would have on the islands. Through the facebook postings, we found out all was well.

So that leads us to today's salt and peppers. Our friends know about our collection at The Craftsman B&B and when they travel, they look for ugly S&P's for us. This set is from Hawaii, but could be from anywhere in the tropics. You would have believed these came from Tahiti, or Greneada, or Bora Bora, but they didn't. They are genuine Hawaiian.

After being in the Bay area for the big quake in 1989, I know the damage it can cause first hand. This quake was much worse and I hope the Chilean people come out of this disaster and are able to rebuild their lives. So if you r are so inclined, give to the red cross to help these people out.
