quote [ A strong earthquake knocked over walls and set off scattered fires around metropolitan Osaka in western Japan on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 300.
A 9-year-old girl was killed by a falling concrete wall at her school, and the two other fatalities were men in their 80s. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said 307 people were treated for injuries at hospitals. Most of the injured were in Osaka — Japan’s No. 2 city bustling with businesses. Osaka officials did not give details, but the injuries reported in Kyoto and three other neighboring prefectures were all minor. ] Japan is living on the edge.

Ya my friend was stuck on a train. That sucks. When you see Japanese people freaking out during an earthquake you know it’s a significant one.

August 1st, tentatively. Have a doc appointment on Friday to discuss options for my shoulder, hurt it while working last December and still hasn't healed after two rounds of physical therapy. If there's something worse going on that could put a huge damper on any current plans.
