Do you smell something?

By mid- June, only part of the massive pile of fish outside this packing plant in Ofunato had been cleared away.

Recently I noticed a comment on a news story about the response to the tsunami disaster here. The writer showed pictures from the coast, including Rikuzen Takata, where I have been going for some time. They thought the work ought to be proceeding more quickly.
My response: get over here and grab a shovel if it bothers you.
There is a lot to be done, along hundreds of miles of coast- and not a lot of "do-ers" available for the size of the job.
