Thanks! Unfortunately this year's Labor Thanksgiving Day didn't fall on the same day as US Thanksgiving Day, but there are still plenty of "Black Friday" promotions here too😂

We'll have to wait until 2028 for another joint celebration. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

Good morning, friends! 💙☕ Stopped for a quick cafe latte on the way home from dropping my daughter off at school. Nice and sunny in Hiroshima today but a little chilly earlier.

I hope all is well your way.✌🏿

I thought I was going crazy or having dizzy spells for a minute... felt our condo moving a bit, but there was no local earthquake warning. Turns out a pretty strong quake hit the Kumamoto area (about 400km / 248mi from Hiroshima).

I hope everyone's okay🙏🏿

But I'm not sure that's completely true. Android applies a color filter on *some apps, but others require developers to enable dark-mode or "themed icons". In the folder below, several of my apps are still default.

I agree that many might prefer the ability to apply dark-mode to apps individually.

It's beautiful on my Pixel (Android)

Btw you can also play around with icon colors. The second from left gives true dark-mode icons regardless of colorful wallpaper.
November 19, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Android (Pixel) has it too, but it's under "Wallpaper Settings". Access by touching/holding any open space on the home screen. Select "Wallpaper & Style", then "Dark Theme". Any installed apps with dark-mode icons enabled will change. *NOTE: On Android, the icon color adjusts to blend with wallpaper

I'm so old I remember a guy who punted without jumping.😂 RIP to both Ray Guy and Reggie Roby

I'm sure they'd love to repeal MLK Day, but Hegseth already banned heritage months for DOD. I used to love awareness campaigns/events, especially ethnic cuisine for Black History, AAPI Heritage, Hispanic Heritage etc. featured at on-post restaurants/mess halls.

Racist drunk "kegseth" doesn't get it

LMAO! I go to the Marine base all the time for MCX, Commissary, and occasionally the clinic. No need for a special trip on Veterans Day.🤷🏿‍♂️ The Army post doesn't have much. Mostly just HQ & admin — no PX, limited MWR, tiny consolidated O/NCO Club/restaurant, and the smallest Commissary in the world.

There's a small Army post and a Marine Corps base within an hour's drive (depending on traffic) in either direction. Both usually have special Veterans Day lunch events and of course sales at the Exchange & Commissary. I've never attended those though.

I know his convictions came after these appointments, but there's something seriously wrong with our justice system when judges appointed by Trump later granted him king-like immunity, continue to rule in his favor on illegal executive actions, and presided over/dismissed his classified docs trial.🤬

For selfish reasons (North American sports schedules LOL), I really wish the US would switch to permanent Daylight Saving Time in states that observe it. If I'm not mistaken, only Arizona and Hawaii don't change clocks twice a year... same in Japan.👇🏿

Justin Dean's high-IQ outfield play helped save the #Dodgers. I just happened to google him and found out he once played for my hometown's minor league team (Mississippi Braves). The Braves weren't there when I was a kid.

Love how the team honored Civil Rights icons "Toogaloo Nine"! See next-->🧵1/2

1995: "Outbreak" film released

2025: YIKES!!! 😬 Wait, isn't Morgan Freeman from #Mississippi? (actually born in Tennessee but moved with family to Mississippi as an infant)

G'night friends! Too tired for an NFL all-nighter this week... 😴💤

I'll have to catch YouTube highlights for the games that kick off at 2am and might be up in time for the 2nd quarter of #DALvsDEN (starts at 5:25am Monday🇯🇵).

Go #Cowboys!

YIKES 😬

Police in #Japan arrested a man with a knife near the #USEmbassy in #Tokyo just days before #Trump visits. One officer suffered cuts on his leg during a scuffle.

Yeah, those small cans of beer are usually sold in packs at grocery stores. No idea about the purpose LOL! Picnics? Office lunches?

Oh, I just LOVE Lemosco. Like the company website says, it goes well with any dish. Did you get yellow or red?
