He started frequenting her restaurant, so either the food was great or he started stalking her then. Probably started giving her money in hopes of a relationship. No normal person borrows money to give to a waitress, no matter how sad her story is.

Posted in: Japanese court convicts Australian who says she was tricked into smuggling drugs See in context

@kaimycahl, so you are saying they shouldn’t ask those questions because everyone lies? If she had answered truthfully it might have saved her a lot of trouble. I worked in the airline business for over 30 years and have heard every excuse…including hers. 99 percent of drug mules know they’re carrying something illegal, so I don’t fully believe grandma’s story.

In addition to being asked if you packed your suitcase yourself, you’ll also be asked if anyone has given you something to carry for them. So not much sympathy for grandma.

@Nomination, what was swept under the carpet? Three independent gov’t agencies all investigated and found that Ohtani was the victim. And the thief, Ippei, confessed to the crime. What more is there?

Posted in: Fans in Ohtani's hometown pack in to watch Game 3 of World Series See in context

Ohtani did score the first run today after drawing a leadoff walk. And he moved Edman into scoring position, who then scored on Mookie’s single. May not be exciting but he’s still making a contribution.
