Nifty.

This was also a cool story about a group of traditional fisherman who recognized the warning signs of the tsunami and managed to save their village.

Yay for education and traditional wisdom.

Wow. Is it okay if I steal your citation to post in my own journal? A number of my readers are in elementary ed and would get a kick out of it.

Certainly. I stole it from joxn to begin with.
