Amount of radiation expected to be "miniscule". Even though the weather has been very pleasant in some areas of the West Coast, it might be wise to keep the windows shut.

The iconic phrase once limited to pinball machines and video games has made its way into modern American English and is often used interchangeably with "S.O.L.", "Screwed The Pooch", and "Epic Fail".
Any of these terms can be used to describe where the human race is today.
More specifically, it is where America is today.
The world is literally coming apart at the seams, and we're ruled by fools.
In January 2010, Haiti was struck by a 7.0 earthquake. American politicians made their pronouncements and threw a few dollars at that rock in the Caribbean, and as soon as everyone felt good about themselves , promptly abandoned it.
Egypt's young revolutionaries tell Clinton, essentially, GTFO. Story here.
Libya is embroiled into what has turned into a very bloody civil war. No one seems to be willing to help oust Gadhafi, in spite of early statements in support of the rebels, no strike that, FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
That is only part of what is going on in the world, and then we have the stuff here at home to contend with. Hopefully you're all keeping up with the local news.
At one point in my life, I was a crew chief for a stock car team running the now defunct Featherlite SouthWest Tour. We were a California team running short tracks. Low on money, big on hard work, and high on dreams (and gasoline fumes).
Spend all week with a welder, a sheet metal brake, and a wrench just to watch the car get torn up in a single Saturday night show.
It is completely different watching a race from inside the pit, or a spotters position, than from the stands. You see things, smell things, and hear things developing before many of the fans.
You're often powerless to stop what you know is coming.
You can be on the radio shouting at your driver to dive to the inside of the track as a wreck develops up in the front of the pack....but sometimes that just isn't enough.
I think that's where we are. We see what's coming, and we're doing everything we can to get people's attention. You the readers are part of this too. You see what's coming and that's why you keep coming back. I like to think maybe it is because you take some comfort in knowing you're not alone....or crazy.
You've all seen the wrecks during a race. The cars spin and gyrate across the track. Smoke, flame, twisted metal, and exploding parts flying all over the place...and even death. Yet, the cars keep moving down the track.
Maybe we are just watching the wreck as it starts. It will be a long time before the twisted wreckage comes to a rest. Humanity, and society, have been running a huge race with a packed field. It is going to take a while for all of it to stop and for people to start sorting through the wreckage.
Mayberry, maybe that's what we're here for. Maybe we can't stop the wreck. But we have the tools, and the ambition to build again. Maybe we'll get it right this next time.
In the meantime, all of you, don't give up trying to flag off the drivers who haven't yet been collected in the wreck.
I take no pleasure in tweaking the nose of those who would not listen, and in reality, are probably still not listening as this "could never happen in America".
If you watch the above video, you will see two of California's nuclear plants that are located a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean. It is not hyperbole when I say "A stone's throw" as you can see in the video. They're also sitting on or near active fault lines.
These are designed to survive a 7.0 Earthquake as admitted in the video. Japan just experienced a 9.1.
If a meltdown does, or has, happened fallout in the form of heavy and light particles will rise into the atmosphere and travel across the Pacific Ocean on air currents.
Maps tracking fallout patterns to the west coast of North America as well as an excellent article can be found here at Modern Survival Blog. It has updates on the developing situation and pertinent information regarding personal preparation.
The good news is many of the heavier particles will drop out of the airstream over the Pacific and probably not make landfall in North America.
The bad news is the more fine, lighter particles, will travel farther before dropping out of the airstream. These will make landfall, possibly as far as Colorado, before dropping out.
The good news is that if the quantity of fallout is small, it will be so widely scattered as to essentially disappear into normally present background radiation sources.
And there's where the hitch is.
How much fallout North America will have to deal with is also a question that is, pardon the pun, up in the air. If we use Chernobyl as a representation of a possible scenario, an estimated 50 TONS (100,000 pounds) of nuclear fuel "evaporated" in the explosion and fire. Much of it landed in the area immediately surrounding the plant, and even more in the areas downwind in the Ukraine. But significant materials remained in the air so that it traveled and triggered radiation detectors in Western Europe, and even the Eastern US.
Remember, Chernobyl was a single reactor. Japan is dealing with the potential for multiple reactor failures.
What most people should be concerned with are Cesium 137, Strontium 90, and Iodine 131.
Three simple steps to protect yourself from ingesting these elements:
Wash all produce thoroughly with clean running water.
Wash all cans of food prior to opening them to avoid potential contamination from radioactive dust that may have settled on the cans. (Remember your pets, too!)
Avoid drinking from open water sources (streams, ponds, etc.).
Much has been said about purchasing Potassium Iodine (Iodate) in order to flood your thyroid with the needed element to prevent the uptake of the radioactive form of Iodine. Apparently, there are rumors of panic buying.
If you find yourself unable to locate iodine supplements, there are natural sources that are readily available.
Laver (Nori in Japan. It's that greenish/black paper-like wrap around makizushi )
Seafood (fish and shellfish)
Yogurt
Cow's Milk
Eggs
Mozzarella Cheese
Another strategy is eating peanuts, soybeans (and related like Tofu), canola oil, cassava, strawberries, pine nuts, millet, pears, peaches, spinach, bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, and anything in the Brassica family. These are known to inhibit the absorption of iodine by the thyroid.
This last suggestion is a stop gap measure only to be considered if you do not have access to a source of iodine.
I watched live video feeds tonight from NHK TV in Japan just after the quake. Watching people running across open farmland or trying to out run the tsunami in cars and trucks only to be overtaken by the relentless wall of water.....
Kasuga Taisha The shrine of my ancestors, dedicated to the Shinto god Ame-no-Koyane, rumored to be a relative.
Even though I am an American and always will be, there is something that will forever be Japanese within me and what I watched tonight ....
No contact with relatives still living in Japan as of yet.
First, a shout out to "cbron001" over in New York.
You must be a real FNG if that's all you got. I'm actually insulted you don't think me worthy of a real attack. I've seen more sophisticated attacks from 12 year olds. Christ, at least put some effort into it.
You're going to have to do way better than that to hack me. Oh, and expect a call from the tech admins at your school. I'm sure they frown on the use of university resources being used to hack people. I spoke with Officer Stevens in your campus police department.
Very nice guy.
Whatever your beef is with me, there's a comment section at the bottom of every post, and you can always e-mail me. Man up.
No, there's no need to thank me. I do whatever I can to dissuade you young people from squandering your potential in the pursuit of a life of crime.
I'll make you a deal. You leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone. I already have your squirrelmail login. Don't make me use it. 137.142.200.31
Now that is out of the way....

And finally the post....
I was listening to Coast To Coast today. I download the shows, and listen to them as I drive each day. I'm a few days behind, and I was listening to the show from 2/21/11 and Lucas had a very coherent explanation for what is going on in the world. So, I thought I'd pass it along to you. Listen to the three parts of the interview linked below and see if it makes sense.
In a nut shell, Lucas believes that some in the world are aware of a Brown Dwarf Star that has a long duration orbit, and passes through the inner solar system approximately every 3600 years.
The passage of "The Destroyer" causes tremendous climatic and tectonic upheavals.
He thinks that these people are the "Elite", and their knowledge of an impending disaster explains the tremendous siphoning of wealth, the huge underground construction projects, and the reason governments have established control centers (essentially second capitols) high in the mountains.
If you've never worked with electronics, and wonder just what all those little pieces are, or have limited experience, here's a great way to learn some practical basics. With things being as they are, being able to salvage components to repair other devices could be a valuable skill for you.
And the liberals here complain about kids drawing guns on paper. Wow. What perspective. These are the kids of our "friends" in Pakistan. I'm sure we'll be resettling "refugees" here and these fun loving little tykes will be in your kid's classrooms! Isn't that going to be so much fun?
This book is out of print and is considered to be the Bible of bicycle mechanics by many bicycling enthusiasts. If things keep heading downhill, bicycles may become more than just a weekend hobby. Grab it while you can!
This book was recommended to me by a fitness freak at one of my accounts. He had noticed my slow, but steady weight gain over the past ten years, and the fact that some old injuries have really been aggravating me (I've ridden falling ladders down to the ground, fallen off of ladders, been in numerous traffic accidents, and have been hit by a truck among other things...LOL! Yeah, probably not a good idea to be near me when the shooting starts!). He said that the information in this book would really help me. I've been looking for a bootleg copy of it online. After his description of it, let's just say I was dubious at best and wasn't going to shell out bucks for quackery. So, I invite you to investigate this as I am planning to.
