We have reached the time in my PhD when I need to buckle down and focus on writing and also work on getting a job for my next adventure. 

So we are going to stop here and end the season now and pop back in when all that is done! 

But I can't leave you with nothing so here is a discussion on the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004
