Hearing from family and friends wondering if there is cause for concern about my safety here in Korea.  No more than normal I’d say.  Just another day in paradise with some crazy people living next door.  Although it would be ironic if war were to break out just as I’m fixin’ to retire.  Of course, as with any provocation that is a chance that things will escalate.  I’m not thinking that’s likely though.

Great info on the situation at ROKDrop and the Marmot’s place.

Again, I’m hearing nothing that leads me to believe that this is anything more than an extreme version of business as usual.
