    Earthquake in Nepal

    Death toll is over 4,000, there are over 7,000 injured, both numbers are expected to rise as they search outlying areas.

    It is reported that there are hikers stranded on Mt. Everest, but this article says some of them that were in camps at a higher altitude than the one that was hit, are staying willingly to finish their climb.

    They expect the mountain will be closed for the rest of the hiking season.

    And very sobering.....How many people woke up that morning and started their day like every other day....and then the switch is thrown and it is all over.
    To my Father. Even though you have crossed the plane, you will always be with me.
    You were not just my Father, but my hero. My life has been a poor attempt to be like you
    You taught me music, vocals, and how to fight. I can only hope I am half the man you are
    When I close my eyes I can see you. And finally, Thank you Dad. for everything.

    The images on the news tonight were heartbreaking.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    Horrid - many nations are sending help - you know it can't get there fast enough.

    The current Nova on PBS is about this earthquake. Very informative.
