Doug wrote; (BTW, John, remember the east coast of Canada isn't immune from tsunamis). Living here is worth the risk. People frighten me more than tsunamis because I encounter them everyday and they are less predictable than natural disasters and frequently more violent. I got a chuckle out of Bob's comment about prayer and tsunamis. Reminded me of Father Cummings who said "There are no atheists in the foxholes." Supposedly a GI responded "If God listened to prayers I wouldn't be in this foxhole." Probably apocryphal but still amusing. Also an insurance agent who had a sign on the wall that said "Trust in God but insure with Prudential".
