“After” satellite picture of the tsunami’s effect in Kalutara, Sri Lanka

http://www.digitalglobe.com/images/tsunami/srilanka_kalutara_ov_dec26_2004_dg.jpg

The before picture for comparison. It's striking how beautiful, yet how deadly, natural disasters can be. Think of the sunsets caused by volcanic eruptions, or the ice formations caused by an ice storm. The pictures are from DigitalGlobe 's QuickBird images of tsunami sites

Overheard

“Finding oneself was a misnomer; a self is not found but made.”

...who said it?

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”

...who said it?

“Subject: put on a happy face smile
Body: And don’t forget it. Happy wednesday! )”

...who said it?

“When I was a boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there on the warmth of a summer afternoon we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him I wanted to be a major league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he’d like to be president of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.”

...who said it?

“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.”
