At Leona’s suggestion, believe it or not, we walked
in an anti-nuclear march on the Westside yesterday. It was another surprising
development in our lives here. I have wanted to get more involved and Leona
heard me. She kept saying how it wasn’t political but an action for all the
people of Taiwan, especially after the tsunami disaster at the Fukoshima nuclear
power plant a few years ago. Taiwan has three reactors and is about to complete
the fourth and put it on line. Our 5.4 earthquake last week is an example of
the reasons why nuclear energy in Taiwan isn’t a good idea for the people’s safety
though, like other places in the world, the ruling class wants it to keep their
investments tight. Leona rode us on the scooter to a staging point and we
walked with perhaps 20,000 other people down the service road of Taichung Port
Road to the new City Hall where there was a concert and rally planned for
4:30pm. We left before the rally and walked back to the staging area to get the
scooter and ride home. I was going to make chicken Marsala with portabella
mushrooms for dinner, which is what I did.
