PILLBOX: #240 – 50 Shades of Grey

A blast from the past: March 21, 2011 Do you think I should worry that my kids go to school in an official tsunami danger zone? By the time the Japanese tsunami got to California, it was only a couple feet high.  But, what if the plate that slid near Japan makes another plate slide and causes a tsunami here in California?  My house is in no danger, but the wave would take out my kids’ school, a large marina, and The Home Depot. We decided we’d throw a party for Hudson’s 12th birthday.  Which meant we’d need to paint a couple walls and fences out in the backyard, and put down something on the flat area where the weeds grow.  Degenerated granite or decomposed granite or de-evolved granite.  I don’t know what it’s called.  We put down gravel instead anyway. It is absolutely amazing how many “whites” there are at the paint store. ORIGINALLY A PREMIUM EDITION Just over 55 min.
