Not A Wasted Day

In my world, no day is wasted in which we have learned something. No matter how dull it may seem on the outside, if I've learned some new factoid or piece of information, no matter how trivial, it has been, if not a good day, then at least a day unwasted.

Check it out:

These little cards are all over Valdez, AK. Seriously ~ everywhere. Since my camera isn't all that great, allow me to translate for you:

IF YOU FEEL AN EARTHQUAKE, A TSUNAMI MAY FOLLOW
HOW TO ESCAPE A TSUNAMI
  1. Drop, cover and hold during earthquake.
  2. Move insland quickly, or use local evacuation route.
  3. Wait for official all clear before returning to beach.

Now, I will be the first to admit that these are pretty commonsense instructions so, in that way, I didn't actually learn anything. However! Valdez being so tsunami-prone that these little cards are everywhere is new information. New, intriguing, disconcerting information. But now we know how to escape a tsunami.

Aren't you excited? I knew you were.
