Oh my, the time, ow she doth slip by...
Hey, it's Golden Week! Well, it is for some people. My eldest son's high school soccer had a game today, so we all packed up and headed into Hamamatsu to watch them play. Great game, no score until just before the whistle ending the first half. Final score 0-3. Bummer. This is a tournament, and they've already made it into the semi-finals, so during the actual G.W. holidays (May 3,4 & 5) they will compete for the bottom as it were.
The weather was great, the sun was out and there was a slight breeze coming off the ocean. I neglected to bring a hat so I sunburned my little head-ouch.
Well, that pretty much sums up our day. I'll try attaching a picture or two later...
What's happening with this swine flu? It's got everybody all freaked out. Really nice timing considering we're freaked out already by the economic situation (the news on which seems to vary daily from 'things are looking up faster than we expected' to 'things are much worse than anticipated'- what are you supposed to believe?)
As of today: the CDC has raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 4, there are over a thousand people confirmed to have contracted the bug in Mexico, and it has killed over a hundred of them, there are reports from Europe, Mexico and Central America, some in the former Soviet States, New Zealand, Australia and maybe Korea. Also, there have been 64 confirmed cases in the USA, though the cases outside of Mexico have, for the most part, been mild.
I'll try harder to stay current.
