Rick. Guess I just like the people of Nepal, and saw it differently than most. I remember two ships sinking in the same storm in the Gulf Of St. Lawrence; 54 sailors died. Had they been North Americans or Europeans they would have received media attention for months. As it was they were mostly third world sailors; and accordingly it is a little known, or remembered event. I appreciate seeing the humour in things (even bad things) we use it (dark humour) a lot to help reduce stress in my job. When Prince Charles divorce was announced. I said "how very sad for them both, and their children" Which was a surprise for the jokers around me at the time too! Chris. I hope your friends family are ok; but I'm sure the people of Nepal will react appropriately in these circumstances. Yours, Aye. Dave
