Seven years ago I drove through a blizzard I didn't know was coming to get to a lake conference about forty minutes east of Cleveland. I was determined to get there. I found myself driving in near white out conditions in two barely visible tracks through the snow on a highway that has a crazy sharp curve around the city of Cleveland. Perhaps you know it? Anyway, that was the weekend that the Fukushima power plant disaster happened from the tsunami off the coast of Japan. I remember stopping to fuel up somewhere Sunday afternoon, and seeing the headline in one of the paper boxes.
Such a strange feeling of passing a point of no return, reading a headline like that.
A friend of mine from high school took this photo of me on the Lake Erie shore on the west edge of the city. I remember finding a paw print in the sand there that made me wonder if coyotes were nearby. The nearest river is the Cuyahoga, which is the one that caught fire in the early 70s, catalyzing a groundswell of national support to establish the Environmental Protection Agency.
