I'm glad you and the island are recovering Malcolm.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
May it only get better, glad to hear an uplifting report from the island.

I wish everyone, myself included, had access to a random isle of crap. As long as it is cheap. Matching up folks who have a need, with leftover crap that will be useful to them, is not an insignificant thing.
But really why I wanted to respond was to applaud your survival. I wish you didn't have to endure that, But you did, and you did it well.
We are getting better at moving supplies to distressed areas but a positive attitude and basic survival skills will always be smart skills to develop.
I was always struck by your positive attitude after the initial shock of the frightening disaster.
