Now I have mixed feeling about this article I saw in the paper yesterday.....

"A 102-year-old Japanese man killed himself yesterday because he was being forced to leave his home in a newly declared danger zone around the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
The man was the oldest resident of Litate village — 24 miles from the plant and considered safe until the no-go zone was expanded this week — and his family was ordered to evacuate, the Jiji Press news agency said.  He was “depressed at the idea that he would have to leave his place,” the report said."

Bendito, the man survived the earthquake, tsunami and if my math is on point (which is questionable) Hiroshima and Nagasaki and yet he killed himself because he was going to have to leave his place....Dude come on how much more time did you think you had?  Stick it out.  Personally I would have been placing bets on myself to see if I made it to 105.   At the same time I know many elderly are set in their ways about things (which I will confirm when I get to that point) and let's face it - no one welcomes change in life comfortably.
