Thanks for the good wishes, and nice to see someone not gloating over this

On that island, the rising sea levels will get you. "Interesting times",

That's all well and good, except that the seas aren't rising.
The Tuvalu and Vanuatu scares were unfounded, as is most global
warming hype. One of many links is listed below:
