Catostrophic Toxic Chemical Disaster!

I've got some catching up to do with this blog, but Dharlene encouraged me to let everyone know that I'm doing fine.  Apparently the toxic spill disaster is all over the news.  A couple of American friends here told me about it, and I'm sure it's all over the news here too, but I can't understand the news and thus rarely listen to it.  Plus, I don't have a TV and internet use is limited.  Thus, I'm sure you know a lot more about this catostrophic toxic chemical disaster than I do.  But I can tell you how far away from it I am...

I'm on the other end of the country, as this map demonstrates:
So please rest assured that I'm okay!  Better than okay really.  I just came from the thermal baths and scented sauna.  I was soaking all morning.  Not in toxic sludge.

The spill was from an aluminum plant.  Just another reminder to recycle.  Imagine, if all those aluminum cans that many of us just pitch into the trash were instead recycled, this sludge dyke probably wouldn't have broke.  By the way, there's no recycling program in Debrecen...
