If you don’t listen to the news or watch the ceaseless humanitarian disaster 150 mi north of here, you would be forgiven to think it was almost a normal day in Tokyo today. There is a normal amount of activity outside. The supermarket will close just 3 hours early today to conserve power. Except for a few shelves, supplies seem to be much improved. They are limiting mineral water purchases to 2 per customer, but seem to have enough on hand. The trains are running better. There were aftershocks today, but they were weaker than yesterday. Most I couldn’t feel at all, and those I did feel were extremely light. I almost hate to turn on the news. doug
