This was to be a day off like in Hawaii. It was interrupted by a briefing on the nuclear plant emergency in Chernobyl Russia. As usual the Russians wont put out any facts but it is evident that a radioactive cloud is spreading beyond the Soviet border. Had a walk on the beach & surprised at how early the sun went down. Then remembered—So. of the Equator it’s Fall not Spring & the days are getting shorter.
