To Ipad 2 or not to Ipad 2?

mmm....Chronic Tacos

I know, right?  This should be my biggest problem in life.  Especially in light of the devastation in Japan.  There's no app for replacing loved ones or one's home.  Where's Godzilla when they need him most?  Tsunami's, earthquakes and nuclear meltdowns:  if that's not a recipe to create a primordial sea monster, what is?

Also, weather events just seem to be getting more and more intense as we approach 2012.  Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and now Japan.  Coincidence?  Maybe, we should have though twice about living along the "Ring of Fire", one town over from a nuclear generating station.  But, I wouldn't take ancient prophecies from a people who couldn't predict their own demise too seriously.  They say there's a 94% chance of a 7.0 or greater in Cali in the next 30 years.  Good thing I don't believe in stats.  It's like Steven Wright says, "If 99% of accidents happen within 2 miles of your home, should you move?"

Anyway, back to the electronics.  It's basically a touch on steroids.  I have an iphone.  I can facetime from my Mac.  And I have a kindle - even if it is an antique.  So, I can't complain.  But it's so coooool!  Does it come with a survival kit app?  Just wondering.

With the rest of the family hanging inland in AZ, I spent the day at the gym, the beach (ahhhhhh!) watching the shoreline carefully, and the Wal-mart (not so ahhhhh!; and luckily (or not) they were out of Ipad 2's - after about 10 minutes!!!)

And now, to quote the Reverend MC Hammer:  It's hammock time!  Unless Godzilla shows up.
