Update on Friday

Very long day.
Elaine got off fine. She is now in the Kansai area. She had a long business meeting at the school.
I was able to find gas! I waited in line for about an hour waiting in a one quarter mile line. I also have enough heating oil (kenosene) to keep us going even in power outages.
Supplies are becoming more common. I saw some people leaving the store with previously sold out toilet paper.
Power outage today according to schedule, and I think they restored our power early. I was pleased tonight to see that our group (#2) and another were significant in keeping the maximum power under what they can totally produce.
We always know when the power back comes on because our doorbell rings. A bit strange but like a bell to remind us we again have power.
Again another much longer day for those affected by the quake and tsunami. Pray they may have peace and rest tonight. Again it is cold.
