Tsunami warning in Japan after strong earthquake https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67855990
It seems to be on the other side of Japan, away from all the IH stuff. I hope everyone is safe.

Damn! Crossing fingers for everyone and everything.

@Alex do You have any status from the IH production facilities, is this going to impact the availability or lead times? I see coverages and the affected areas look really bad.

[Mizmazzle]

Ugh. This is such sad news for the people of Japan…and on the first day of the year. 7.5 is a very large magnitude earthquake. I am hoping they are able find homes and places to live while the recovery is under way.

prayers out for Japan

No updates yet, but if there were impacts to our team, lead times would be the least of my concerns...

It's been a 3 day weekend this weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr. day. Been brutal cold the last few days. Just got the call that school is canceled tomorrow!!!! God is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[popvulture]

Haha @Mizmazzle that's awesome, dude — I think it'll be the the same sitch here as well. 4 day weekends are the absolute best.

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture I don't want to sound like I don't love being around my wife, but she also had to cancel her flight back to Denver and change it to tomorrow as well! One more night sleeping in the Lefty!!

Here’s an out of context text exchange between Katie and me for your enjoyment…

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I’m setting aside $50 for the party, just to see that statement come to life

[Matt]

Set aside $75 and you can record it.

[Giles]

Or $76 and @matt will join in

[Matt]

The £50 is for me. Katie’s prices are exorbitant. You don’t want to know what it costs me.

[goosehd]

@Matt …a smile and a handshake?

[goosehd]

Or a wink and a nod?
