See You in the Funny Papers!

But Tim, let's not get carried away...

With all the news on TV in the past year about the extreme weather conditions affecting our world - the tsunami in Asia and East Africa, the mudslides in the US, Middle East and South America, the hurricanes on the East Coast last summer, the flood that made it's mark on Southern England - along with the dire predictions made by such films as The Day After Tomorrow, we shouldn't forget those less fortunate than ourselves. Even Sweden has its share of devastating weather.

I've attached a photo illustrating the severe damage caused to my friend's home from a storm that passed through the south of Sweden last week. He sent me a note saying, "It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted!" (Please click on "Attachment" in red at the top of this post to view the photo).
