Rikki, let us know when the surgery is over and tell her we’re thinking of her.
No three hour daily commute and I’ll still be working. In fact, I just shut my stinkin computer down. I might keep wearing a mask after all this crap is over because unclean heathens. We’ll see. The Japanese, as usual, were probably on to something all along. A guy in the office today skyped my group that he went almost all day until he saw two maskless knuckleheads on the a ring. Guess which service (hint: not army).

Covid sucks.

Yep, the businesses around here are starting to rebel in the Philly area.
Many gyms and restaurants are refusing to close.
At work we had Christmas dinner scheduled for this Saturday.
We called and they said inside seating was still available despite the governor’s closure.

We are going.
**** the man.

Good for you.

I’m kind of a home body anyway and eating out a lot gets spendy. We already pay too much for groceries. Worked, made a decent chicken yakisoba, worked some more. Gets dark early. What else am I gonna do? No sports tonight. Need to wrap presents and stuff for all the amazon shopping. Not going to stores is a good thing in many ways.

Yeah, eating out does get spendy, but we enjoy it, and I didn’t work hard for decades to hide out now and leave a bunch of money to the kids so we’re enjoying life, COVID or no COVID.

I’m curious about this statement. What were they on to? In my many trips to Japan since 2011 I’ve never seen anybody wearing a mask outside a major city. In Tokyo maybe 5% wear them, not because of any virus, but because of poor air quality.

LOTS of respiratory protection used at the Fukushima NPP, but no paper masks or cloth bandanas allowed.

I was a kid when I was in Japan. I do remember people wearing masks on trains and just walking around. It was a small percentage. I believe they were cotton and they wore them because they were sick with a cold or whatever and didn’t want to spread their germs. As a courtesy. Maybe it worked maybe it didn’t. I know covid is different.

My comment “as usual” refers to how the Japanese can take something someone else invented and make it better — electronics, cars, whisky, you name it. Maybe they were on to something about masks too. They’re smart that way.

Gotcha.

Our favorite country to visit out of the many we’ve been to.

Wish I could go back. Left in 1973. My mom’s family was from Sendai. No idea if any of my relatives are alive.

Someday we’ll take an Asian cruise. My eldest is dying to see Japan. Me too. My best years.

An Asian cruise would take at least a week to get out of the harbor.
