Why Catherine? A properly functioning moral compass. Sharp as a tack. But you have to want it (not a LOT, but at least a little). I understand.
Color me "Open" right now. But '26 may make '28 meaningless.

Well, we are here (or there). Today is the 3rd in Tokyo, and sunsets are as early as they get: from the 1st through the 10th, roughly, around 4:27 pm, give or take a few seconds.
Sunrises of course, later and later, until about Jan 13th, when they start getting earlier.

So, my friends ...
Audible is offering (see pic) "The Complete Novels Of Charles Dickens".
But the offering is NOT "complete" ... if there's a "Part Two".
Amirite?

Staying at this fantastic place in Otami tonight. It is a US-sized room on a hillside above the city & ocean. Found it on the Net. Less than 200 per person USD. Natural onsen. Free beer in the fridge!

I just took a kind of "peek" at her life. She's a shark with a cloned MacKenzie Scott (formerly Bezos) smile.
BTW, I thought MacKenzie was so cool. I felt bad for her that her second squeeze only lasted 2 years.

BTW, there's supposed to be a "baby shortage" in Japan. Clip of a "baby-car parking lot" at Tokyo Disneyland last Friday. It was just one of many.

If you've never really appreciated the effing curvature of a wing on a heavy coming in for a landing, you can see it here. This is a British a380 coming down. Full front slat extension. And look at those flaps The airfoil is almost as much parachute as 'wing'. Video: www.youtube.com/shorts/sn3RN...

Embarrassed. PM Takaichi asked in the Diet what would Japan do if there was a war over Taiwan. Gave a diplomatically sterile answer. Consul general Xue Jian, in Osaka, pops off like a barbarian. He should have 2 choices: Full retraction on NHK, or persona non grata.
