Just a quick word on Tsutomu Yamaguchi who died on Monday, in Japan, of cancer. Yamaguchi was present at BOTH Nagasaki and Hiroshima when the Yanks dropped the A-bomb.Badly injured at Hiroshima on August 6th, he went home to Nagasaki and was relating the story of what had happened there, three days later, when 'The Fat Man' was dropped. He was either the luckiest or unluckiest man alive. When I'm sitting there sometimes, thinking I'm having a bad week, I think about Tsutomu Yamaguchi and realise that this shit really isn't all that bad.Thursday 7 January 2010
