Howard,

Thank you for your concern. My wife's family is inland, an hour or so north of Manila in the province of Masantol just of the Manila Bay,

My father's side is farther north in the Dagupan province near the Lingayen Gulf.

Both will experience heavy rains and some flooding as they are near rivers, but that happens yearly regardless of typhoons or not.







If anything should change, I'll keep you all posted.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Filipino folk are pretty tough (well, except for our chimp) They'll rebound, but I wish them all well

So far no reports of any of our families affected.

Thousands of others not so fortunate.
