I left Japan but I still have an emergency stash of food.. even though
England doesn't have earthquakes. I just got in the habit of having it
around. I reckon dried beans are the best, as they are nutricious, and
easy to keep, though not very sociable..

After Kobe a few friends borrowed a truck and took a whole load of food
and water down as the authorities were doign nothing, and I mean Nothin
to help the pour souls there.

However.. thanks to our Muslim friends and their habbit of blowing up
the infidel... particularly infidels around here, I'm keeping my stash
of food in case they decide to do something nasty to my city...
