World News/Events........
I understand we all come to this site to sort of "escape" and enjoy a shared love of pre war cards and memorabilia, so this topic may not gather much attention. But there are so many things going on in the world today, I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on world news/events.........good or bad, whatever is going on.
The horrible tragedy that happened in Japan is one of the things I have been paying attention to in the news. It is hard to imagine the magnitude of what has happened over there.
My wife's sister had sent us an email regarding protecting ourselves from radiation by taking iodine pills. I discussed this with a co-worker who said "There is no way the radiation could make it to the U.S. from Japan".......then yesterday morning on the news they say they've found small traces of radiation in Las Vegas and California !!! They also said the amounts were miniscule and harmless.....but it is a bit alarming to me.
Anyone else care to discuss world news?
Sincerely, Clayton
