The Indian Ocean tsunami caused the global death toll from natural disasters in 2004 to triple from the year before to about a quarter of a million ? the highest total in almost 30 years, the international Red Cross said last week.

The body count from Hurricane Stan has reached 1,400 in Guatemala after rescuers retrieved 61 bodies from two mudslide-hit communities.

The 7.6 magnitude earthquake that struck Northern Pakistan and India on Friday has thus far killed 18,000 30,000, according to estimates.

There are 20 less people on the planet to worry about the effects of global warming after suicide bombers strolled into restaurants on the island of Bali and blew themselves up last week.

Anyway, you get the idea how Roger was feeling.

As for me, I was just happy that it was a nice day, no one was killed on PCH, and there was a new episode of Rome on HBO.

On a lighter note, Roger was doing some “research” on Craigslist’s Missed Connections and found a hilarious exchange (too funny to be real) between Starbucks barista and a customer. Check it out.
