"Friday's quake was 'The Big One' in terms of magnitude - it was just in the wrong place to be Tokyo's big one.
Which just leaves us with the question of when all that stored energy adjacent to Tokyo will actually be released. This week, this month, next year or in another decade ? When will the ground under Tokyo finally just 'let go' - no longer able to hold back the inevitable eastward creep of China and Russia (geologically speaking).
Look forward to having a drink with you sometime in April. "
I love the juxtaposition of the instillation of mortal fear with the reassuring optimism of there possibly being an April in Tokyo's future.
Nothing like an e-mail like this to ensure another good night's sleep among these aftershocks, right.
