Here is a scary tale bringing the disastrous Christchurch earthquake closer to home. Former Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Tucson) was in New Zealand's second-largest city this week and was at a trade lunch when the temblor hit. He, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh and the rest of their group escaped unharmed, but Bayh's wife, Susan, was evacuating from the nearby hotel when a wall fell and killed a woman in front of her.
Also interesting to learn that the longtime Arizona Congressman now partly owns a bed and breakfast elsewhere in the south Pacific nation.
