Last week we were watching a lot of news coverage about the Japan earthquake, tsunami, and ever-increasing concerns over the damage at the nuclear plants. Obviously we have been paying close attention to this situation. On one news channel they were reporting from California about the public's fear of radioactivity and that so many people were buying Geiger counters. I chuckled and said something like "That's crazy--they are over 4,000 miles away and they will probably never use it. Talk about over reacting." Well, Brent quietly said, "We have a Geiger counter." What? Why in the world do we have a Geiger counter? Again, I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED! After all, we are talking about Brent McLaws here, Mr. Preparedness, Mr. Tool Guy, Mr. If-there's-a-cool-gadget-out-there-I-got-to-have-it Guy.
So, today, as he was looking for something in his office (now that's another blog post--"The Office Wars"--coming soon) he pulled out the so-talked-about Geiger counter. I made him hold it up to his head as he was talking on the phone. I just wanted to check and see if there was any radioactivity emitting from that head of his!! After all, we've all heard about the concerns over too much cell phone usage. Gratefully, it did not even register! Yea! So far, so good! And, just so you know, our home is radiation free too. Don't you all wish you had a Geiger counter???

hahaha oh father. We will never stop teasing him for being Mr. Prepared, but in the end, we will all come running to him when the world is coming to an end.
Whew. He should walk around the neighbor and make sure we're allll good. Well, there could be some lingering radiation at our house. Hahaha.
figures...glad you're safe :).
