As far back as I can remember, springtime has been my favorite time and season.
I love winter. I love snow, especially around Christmas and the Christmas lights & all that stuff.
But winter is cold and way too long in Canada.
Even this March 19, Cindy & I drove through a phenomenol snow storm, but that's a different story.
Spring time is coming. It's going to be the time of the osprey. The time of the fish, time of butterflies, hummingbirds.
A time when flowers are blooming. People are out walking, having a coffee, enjoying the warmth - sunshine
Shedding their clothing. Going out in shorts in t-shirts.
It is spring time.
But this year, something is going to be really different, and it's really affecting me because
I was looking forward to spring in a big way.
Cindy & I have 3D HD cam-corders coming from SONY in early April
And I thought about filming all the wonders that I love to film out there.
But something else has happened recently.
And that's this big nuclear incident that has happened in Japan.
And if you listen to scientists, 2 weeks ago, they would have told you that the nuclear reactors & everything was completely safe.
There will never be any natural disaster or even a terror attack or anthing that could compromise the nuclear reactors.
and cause a major radiation release.
They weren't counting on a 9.0 or 9.1 earthquake to strike.
And they weren't counting on a tsunami to come sweeping in.
Unbelievable tragedy as the tsunami wiped out farmlands and villages.
Over 10,000 maybe 20,000 people were killed.
But the tragedy continued to unfold because the nuclear reactors were affected.
Something that said would never happen.
Now they also said there was nothing to ever worry about radiation leaks,
Because it's all encased. It's all enclosed. Don't worry about. Radiation cannot come out.
Well that has been proven to be wrong because the things exploded.
Hydrogen build up. They exploded. Take a look at these things, they look like they've gone thru a war.
Fuel rods have been exposed to air. They're melting down. Radiation is coming out.
It's been detected as far away as Tokyo. But of course, that would never happen.
They've now moved people further and further away from the nuclear reactors.
because of radiation fallout.
But of course they said that food would never be contaminated - it's just very low levels.
It's less than 1000th of what you would get from the sun. Nothing to worry about.
But food is contaminated. Spinach, Milk, all sorts of other produce now is not just contaminated
because first they said it was low levels. Now they're saying it's harmful. Harmful amounts of radiation.
Our politicians in North America, from the USA & Canada. Scientists were saying it'll never reach over to us.
Last night on the news, they were saying that radiation, low level radiation was detected over Washington
It's been detected in California and even in British Columbia. But we have nothing to worry about.
It's all low level. Nothing to worry about.
It's the same propaganda being played over and over again
And it's hard to imagine that whole incident unfolded less than 2 weeks ago.
What is going to be the impact to our environment from this unbelievable disaster.
Not just to humans, but to nature and wildlife.
I don't trust any of the politicians. I don't trust any of the scientists when they're talking about 'low level'
Radiation is bad. Period! (End commentary. Bird songs)
