Woke up this morning to more terrible scenes in Christchurch; lightning may not strike twice, but it’s in the nature of earthquakes that they do. I’ve been there, loved  the genteel beauty of the place, and enjoyed every minute of my trip, so when I saw those pictures I felt the tragedy even more keenly. Right now, all I can do is hope that by some miracle, the death toll rises no higher.
