Buggin' out

We got the word tonight that we are allowed to voluntarily evacuate, and given my pending medical evacuation, I'm taking the offer. The base/our government still maintains that we are in no danger of being radiated, but want to offer the chance to leave given the energy shortage. For those of you just joining us, we've been told that we have finite resources to heat our houses, water, cook with, and fuel our cars....all which could get pretty old, pretty quick. Because I was being processed for a medical evacuation when the earthquake hit, I hope to get some priority -- and this way I get to take Hannah Jane with me. There is not a rush to get people out because they believe there is no danger to us, so they have to take time to work out all the details on how this is all going to work. It's a logistical nightmare, and I wouldn't want to be active duty personnel right now! (As I type this at 10pm, they've in the middle of all-night meetings trying to work this all out). There's a town hall meeting at 8:30am tomorrow which I hope to attend after I drop Hannah Jane off a school (yes, the Japanese kindergarten presses on!). When I hear the details and know when/where I'm going I'll be sure to post (or get Rick too).

I'm heading to bed for now. More big aftershocks today and I'm just plain (sick) and tired....
Thanks for listening...stay tuned!
