The Flood
Recently I have been trying to decide what to do about my apartment. Get rid of it and crash at Tomoe's, or Tomoe move in here becuase it's cheaper and basically nicer...
Looks like I may not have to worry that much anymore. It has been pouring rain for the past hour or so, and the water level of the river next to my house has risen to within a meter of the top (about 3 meters in the past hour). Once it overflows it will attack my aparment.
I'm trying to decide what to take... obviously my passport, and i have the small cage ready to evacuate the birds. I was considering setting up my kayak and putting as much in it as I could (along with the birds) and just sitting in the street and wait for the water... kind of like my little Ark.
I have decided however that the kayak can stay in the apartment, since it wont be damaged even if it gets wet. So far, all I have is my passport. I suppose if the siren goes off, I will cary as much as I can to the upstairs hallway, then head out with my camera.
Cool.

Reminds me very much of the situation when we had a fire in May this year. I reached for my passport, Megumi reached for her bird, P-chan, and our wedding photos. Disasters or near-disasters like that certainly help you to reflect on what you really can't do without in life. http://www.garyandmegumi.com/blog/archives/000112.html

I thought you went into the room and sat next to her and held her hand... oh wait that was the earthquake. ;-)
So the fire didn't destroy anything right? I guess I'll have to go through your archives to find out.
