@ mrkobayashi- It was a paper label stuck onto the bag of rice. No holes in the plastic.

I was at the supermarket last week and they were selling bags of rice with the "From" part blatantly cut out. I showed my husband and he asked the salesperson about it. Of course they had no answer so my husband just said ayashii and we put the rice back. That's probably what they will have to end up doing to sell rice from Fukushima. Sad but true.

“The Tokyo Sky Tree was constructed with state-of-the-art Japanese technology. It will not fall,” That's a mighty bold statement. Mother Nature is pretty strong too.

I am glad to see she is determined to be "the nail that stands up" and I hope and pray that she doesn't get hammered down. Good for her and more power to her! So many people are still so trusting of everything the government says. This is exactly the kind of thing this country needs, a wake up call to the politicians.

They should take that time and energy to do something helpful and useful instead of causing traffic.
