Part of the reason I didn't hear from him, is he stayed on site to help organize the medical care/triage/evacuations. He doesn't talk about it, but someone else did: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq87-7b.htm
This should be remembered to allow you an enormous sense of pride in him.
Here's to never forgetting. Here's to no more of your pain in rememberance.

The 50 yen coin has a hole in the center. WHY? What's the logic?

So you can tie it to your shoes?

When I was in Israel, the coins that worked the public telephones had holes in them. We tied them to our shoelaces so that we'd always have a coin to use to phone home.

I saw Rolvix this morning in church and had a nice visit with him after the service was over.

One might claim that you need less material to produce the coin...

The Reader's Digest condensed version is: it used to be harder to counterfeit coins with holes, and cheaper to make (for the reason Ymo stated). Now the Japanese claim it's easier for the visually impaired to identify the coins, which are apparently only the 5 and 50 yen varieties.

I'm having some oral surgery tomorrow. My dentist simply cannot deal with the amount of bone I have in my lower jaw, so he sent me to a periodontist who's going to remove it with a hammer and chisel.

I'll be out of it for a while. I've seen my drugs, and they are powerful--Triazolam, Hydrocodone and an antibiotic, Azithromycin, plus whatever IV cocktail he gives me tomorrow.

My periodontist has a very nice office. It makes me wish that I had paid more attention in chemistry class. . .

Oh.My. :-o :((

That just sounds..... :-o :((

I hope you have someone lined up to get you home tomorrow? And maybe babysit you for a day? Because with that drug line up, whoa.... I'd be lucky to be able to open the pill bottles by myself, much less remember what I took when.

Big doses of vibes for a fast, worry-free recovery!!!

Must be inflation. The 5 yen coin had a hole in it when I lived there and the 50 yen didn't.
