Yes...there was an earthquake...far from Shanghai...we are fine...

We have had a couple of messages from folks asking about the earthquake that was in China.  It was over 1000 miles from where we are at.  Enough to sway the taller buildings downtown and evacuate a couple of buildings.  But in the 3rd tallest building, the Jinmao tower, Ron did not evacuate and watched from the windows as some large high rises across the park did.  The Jinmao tower made some noises, but it seemed more like high wind as opposed to an earthquake.  Kim was stuck downtown grocery shopping and the grocery store is at the bottom of a large office building that was evacuated.  As a result she and a friend had to carry their large sacks of groceries a couple of blocks looking for the driver, who was madly trying to figure where they were in the chaos.   For them a crazy ending to what started out as a walk on a beautiful afternoon in Shanghai.  All-in-all everyone is fine.
