Todays edition of la times (Saturday, 12/31/04) has front page tourist pic of
tsunami wave coming ashore in SE Asia.  The original is large and quite
amazing.  I clipped the JPG from the web site and though it's barely larger
than a thumbnail,  I think you can get an idea:

Best wishes for the new year and a better 2005.

"Take a look behind you - upstream - now you begin to
recognize this country, don't you?"

"Yes, I do recognize it now. It is the most wonderful
thing I ever heard of; by a long shot the most
wonderful - and unexpected."
