Spence Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 so 99% of the news coverage has been Oso, WA disaster here. A mountain side gave way and buried a community in 15+ of mud, soil and rock. There were 46 structures of which ~30 were homes - 14 dead, 108 missing. http://seattletimes.com/html/home/index.html About 10 -15 miles from my house. So no. We haven't really been paying attention to 'other' news. Cancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I notice the North Koreans usually start acting up when everyone else is concentrating on another part of the world. Either they feel they can act with impunity, or they just have to be the center of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
