Being 1/2 way around the globe I admit I don't know much about the geography of New Zealand.... just saw there was over a 7.0 magnitude quake near Christchruch.... hope all is well on your end.

EDIT - I see Auckland is on a seperate island from Christchurch.

Thanks Devin, have checked in with the family and they are all OK.

Seems there has been quite a bit of damage though and a state of emergency has been declared.

Unfortunately not in the US Eric otherwise I would be dropping round for a beer!! We may get to the US next year though as we have friends in Boston that we owe a visit.

We are in Malaysia as my wifes parents are living there. Damn hot. Great race driving practice here though as the roads seem to be a free for all with cars going in all directions..........!!

A good friend of mine spent 10 years growing up in Thailand and said driving was like that as well... no real rules to follow, if there's space take it, and whoever's bigger has right of way. If you're on a moped and get run over by a truck then it was always the moped rider's fault!
