Interesting background story, a bit less sad than what has happened to Mad Max’s Interceptor (https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2015/05/15/theres-only-one-original-mad-max-interceptor-and-its-not-in-australia/), which also ended up being driven legally on the road.

Certainly something to have been talking about.

Gone but obviously not forgotten. - yet.

if you want attention do something outrageous or at least unexpected.

so it happened, and after the former CEO’s press conference this week we shall ignore it and god or bad will make no difference to most people.

Not only in Japan. Just more formalized.

Far worse than ever, and season is only half over.

Initiatives at local, mid and ground level only.

Political leadership lacking.

Still most people not effected because they stay in the cities where this year lots of smoke haze - with one identifiable cause.

Sadly a few more seasons of that are needed before most people move beyond sympathy, and occasional inconvenience of a fire ban stopping their barbecue plans.

Employed now as opposed to unemployed then.

Skill? No, got lucky!

Too busy to think about this question.

Ihara Saikaku wrote a series of anecdotal short stories about this very question (This Scheming World in English) 350 years ago though

Glad Xmas in Japan closes down about 23rd, though starting in shops in October, which is fine.

KFC or a one-night stand on the 24th I can miss though.

Glad to work on Xmas Day.

Glad to avoid and not think about the guilt, fights, debt, nostalgia, gluttony and hangovers rels in the home country willingly suffer together.

Locality image-based list only - confirmed with the Dogo Onsen inclusion

Iya in Tokushima, Ubusuki in Kagoshima, a few in Nagano and Niigata I have been to again and again.

Dogo onsen - baths did not filter water (lots of little floating bits); lots of guys looking mean with the same types of tats together, tour of Showa imperial family's section with graphic description of how the old Showa Tenno took a dump down a hole in a small room in 1952.

Morrison’s electoral area is bathed in smoke from fires around Sydney while he has been on holiday with family, in Hawaii!!

Then his deputy stepped outside party lines to admit there is a climate emergency.

Australia is leaderless without Morrison as much as with him.

The sound of raw fish.

From the standpoint of cost performance, Aisekiya will often work out cheaper even for guys, with one hour amounting to under 4,000 yen

Certainly better value than the Philippine place round the back, and no need to practise bad English.

No mention of guns

So not as bad as ...

There is always the signature.

Even digital in PDF it works better than inkan do.

Still have my 印鑑しょうめいしょ from Tokushima City Office from 1985 though - anyone even know what I am talking about

Utilitarian is obviously ‘No’

’Realities ...’ is obviously Yes

Sad when reality gets in the way of a perfect world

Wooh!

Yeah, I’m thinking (he’s) back

Wonder the extent to which there are zero imports of Korean beer to Japan anyway.

Yes, overlooked.

Actually has a freeway through the area - about 40 km shorter than the other way if you are going up Hokuriku.

Worth a few stops (and better seafood than in Kochi)

... or of course,

... about 40-something (WO)man’s relationship with SON’s schoolboy friend ....

OR

... (DAUGHTER'S ) school(GIRL) friend ...

Whatever!

Japan and US mentioned .... um, I can think of a lot stinkier places to be, and have been there too.

Part of life though, for instance, chewing gum after 焼肉 anyone?

The targeted advertising missed its target with me.

There is a circle in it - refreshing after sripes, reds, whites and blues and stripes and stars and repetitious Euro-use of colours, union Jacks and so on..

Simple is good, like the 梅節 in the ご飯, or the drop of arterial blood in the snow.

Front-runner geriarchy!

Anyone younger even than 60?

A short lot! Arnie’s just a little taller than Cruise - even the SFX terminator they had in Planet Hollywood for years in Sydney was only 5 foot 7 or so.

Curious about plot gymnastics for bringing him back.

All the stone throwers (stoners!?) above be careful and check your own phones first.

yeah, seems like a sleaze bag but just wonder what intel got them to check his phone to find 300-odd videos. I’d be more concerned about photos especially original ones.

Just do’t know enough yet.

Plot gymnastics in marvel movies make me tired.

Logan was good though, because of characters.

Also, significantly, the film is a partnership venture with Dreamworks.

So sad to have to grovel for a market, and shut down other markets in the process.

I like 'KAMOFURE' - at first Ithought, '鴨フレ', especially as it all leads to the bath.

Then manzai humor, like

'あなたは鴨フレじゃないけどカモフレ鴨　－　ちがう、カも知らない。'

'やっぱ知らないね。「あひる」だろう。’ said the duck.

Maybe it is a case of keeping friends close and enemies closer.

In Kochi, it depends on how saturated the ground is in rain area.

Pretty saturated for 鏡川 to be high in pics I’ve seen.

5 years ago after 4 typhoons in 2 weeks it was like that.

it's late. Let things now fall where they fall.

Let's hope one is Johnson.

Comparisons with first half of 16th Century English political history are not overt any more.
