Shame no poster for NHKから国民を守る党 on that board.

The whole thing is a sham and a joke.  The biggest "sponsor" of the Tokyo Olympics is the Tokyo taxpayer and they are not getting the tickets.  This new auction is simply a way to entice frustrated applicants into buying tickets for Air Pistol, Handball, and Race Walking.  Tickets for Opening Ceremony, Gymnastics, Swimming will absolutely not be available in this secondary auction.  Despite all those statements of fairness in opportunity, if you want tickets for the popular events you will have to buy an all inclusive travel package from the official resellers.

Meh...   MotoGP on its worst day is waaaaay more exciting than F1 on its best day.

To all those who applied for Olympic tickets but received none, you know where those tickets went.

To be placed in a plastic bag for carry from the cash register to the rubbish bin.

I want to see the same outrage and protests as if this had been a US Army chopper.

More mindless people staring at their phone not watching where they are walking or riding their bicycle and abruptly stopping or moving abnormally.  Pokémon Go turned our local walking/jogging path into an obstacle course.

No lack of excitement and overtakes in MotoGP.

From now on for all Japanese language applications, forms, etc that bear my name in Katakana I will demand my given name be listed before my family name, as is customary in my mother tongue, per Kono-logic.

The cracks "told" officials to grow the rice in the ancient capital of Kyoto and in Tochigi Prefecture.

That sure is some fortune telling when it tells you to hedge your bet.

That is a relief.  I was worried about that.

Let's Go Cardinals !!

Don't know a single song she sings.  Intending for it to stay that way.

Family Mart seems intent on capturing this Smoker market.  Yesterday went to a Family Mart and had to walk through a fog of smoke to get inside.  Tons of heavy smokers hanging out outside all around the entrance.

I so wish eBay could take on Yahoo Auction and create more competition in the Japan market.  Yahoo Auc's seller's fees are ridiculously high.

Still waiting for some anti-Trump'ers to walk the talk and take up the Open Door Challenge.

Yadi !  Yadi ! Yadi !

roughly half the owners of the most recent model are 50 or older.

Isn't true of every domestic car in Japan???

Everybody loves a winner.

Put this in the same file folder as the Kyoto Protocol.

It sure hinders repeat offenders.

They will be listed on Yahoo Auction soon upon delivery.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

So the medals go to the sufers who looked coolest sitting on their board waiting for waves that never comes???

Meh....

Making America Great Again

The pot calling the kettle black.

There already are a couple of these museums, but it would be interesting to see what this new museum has to see.   There is the 26 Martyers Museum by Nishizaka Park in Nagasaki.  It is very interesting with an actual document signed by the Pope to Francis Xavier, and many other historical items.  In Amakusa there is one next to the Ariake Michino-eki / Ripple Land that has a lot of Maria Kannon objects.

Go Go Swallows !!

1 for 5.  He still looks over-matched.
