    Hello Southwerk!

    I am about to record the audio for Part 22 of The Report. I will certainly be getting into the hot potato tossing going on in Japan while the world is exposed to the radioactive gusher.

    Should be up by 10:00 (PST)

    Welcome to crisisjones.wordpress.com we can use all of the ethics we can muster these days.

    PEACE
