May 30th, Day 10.
Spent this weekend working in the yard and working on my sail boats. I also helped a friend start packing their house. They have to be out mid June, and have a long way to go. They have to move and are thinking of moving to a more fortified compound down in Los Banos. Maybe not a bad idea.
The power and water has stayed on, and it’s almost as if nothing has happened. Except that it did.
The European Stock market continued to fall Friday, and while the US market was closed for Memorial Day, the European was open for a while. It kept falling and they suspended trading. I think a big crash is coming. There have continued to be more food riots in Europe. The Middle East continues to get worse with Syria and Israel making threats.
In Rome, there has been crowds gathering in St Peters square, and the Pope said he would make an announcement in the next few days.
The crazy weather has settled down and there have not been any more earthquakes… but now there has been some reports of a new flu going around.
Like I said, with every one still trying to understand what happened on May 21, and what it means to have been left behind… I think this is just a short calm before a bad storm.
Be safe folks.
What is the "European Stock"? There is no unified sotck exchange in Europe as far as I know.
