It Starts When the Shaking Stops

Fighting has broken out in Dujiangyan over packets of dry noodles. Daci's family keeps telling us that they're fine, that they are staying in a place they consider safe, and that the government has promised to feed everyone... so they don't want to leave. Daci thinks food shortages are just going to get worse.

Meanwhile, in Le Shan (where the rest of Daci's family lives), there are reports of earthquake deaths that have not been mentioned in official State news.

We really want to get them out of there, and preferably get them here for a visit. Meanwhile, I'll have Daci tell her mother to get out of town, collect our Western Union, go somewhere far enough away that there won't be a housing crisis, and rent an apartment.
