It's going to be a long time before things are normal again in Tokyo for _people_, though...
[even if they manage to dodge the worse-case meltdown-widespread-contamination bullet.]

Beautiful! You've got our best wishes in the states. Well, we're bombing somebody new again so that's taking up some of our attention, but given those circumstances Japan is still getting a lot of attention.

Very nice Mat. Reminds me of the chap on NHK the other night who said, "Whatever happens, the cherry blossoms will still bloom." Let's just hope that the powers-that-be stop futzing around and get this issue sorted as quickly as possible.
