Paper Ashes vs Gleaming Gold Coins:
>>"IIn a recent interview with Dow Jones Newswires, WGC's Japan regional
director, Itsuo Toshima, said he had noted that gold has been afforded the
status of being the "indestructible" asset by many Japanese since the Great
Hanshin Earthquake of 1995.

In the aftermath of this quake, Japanese viewers watched as a television
crew captured the scene of a harried old housewife frantically clawing
through the rubble of her burnt out house in search of the family's cash box.

Once the box was unearthed, the bill notes inside were found to be burnt
beyond recognition, but the family's cache of gold coins was left unscathed."<<

Reminds me of some of the scenes from the NorthRidge CA quake here, stateside...

Thanks, again, Lorne.
