(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".
