The situation in the Middle East seems to be more & more tense and precarious, as oil addiction conflicts with humanitarian interests. Meanwhile the disaster in Japan continues to unfold. The scale of the damage is becoming clearer, as is the vulnerability of nuclear power production. European governments are rushing to reassure their voters that it couldn't possibly happen here. Maybe not as a result of a tsunami, but they are conveniently forgetting the ability of humans to screw things up, whether by error, folly, or malice.
There is a slightly odd mix in these journal entries: a log of basic running activity combined with a personal record of world events, but no apologies for that either. Everyday life co-exists with global matters, and anyway this blog is an experiment in diary-keeping.
