So imagine you have a really nice house, made from traditional wood and everything, with little blue roof tiles. Your house is in the middle of some rice fields, away from the city, it's peaceful and quiet. Surrounding the fields are a row of trees to break the wind coming from the sea where you often go fishing in your own boat.

And then say a 3 story high wall of water comes and turns all the rice fields into a giant lake. Your house becomes a soggy mess of unusable electronics, toppled furniture, and rotting books. The flooring is all ruined with mud and oil. Your little boat that used to be in the harbor is now on top of someone else's house. And the row of trees surrounding your peaceful, quiet abode are now full of rotting corpses that the crows crowd around now.

Who's gonna clean all this up?

Well I'm gonna go do my best to help in the small ways I can. And for this purpose, I'm going to postpone my DNA Day contest. Especially since only ONE person has done anything for it thus far. So you guys get a week extension while I go off to do some volunteer work, okay? Remember to celebrate your DNA on the 25th, okay? I'll be back later!!
