I went out for a run this morning. Today was a beautiful spring day-still not really warm-but not cold either. Exactly as predicted by the Japanese Agencies the Sakura started blooming on 23 March. How they can figure that out is beyond me, but they are 99% right. The blooming

Too funny to resist……..
Should not post this. Must resist the urge to do so. “No Bluto’s right! This calls for a really stupid and infantile act-and we are just the guys to do it!” Good Evening Americans. I am Al Gore and as you know I invented the internet. Now it has come

Only my Canadian counterpart can explain this in a logical way-and make a connection to the Rev Wright scandal while he is at it………..(Warning: NSFW-Because the language is, you know, not safe for work). This has all the makings of a good AFN commercial. 🙁

MONTCALM But so many suns have set since Le Renard struck the war post. Is he not tired? MAGUA Where is that sun?! It has gone behind the hill. It is dark and cold. It has set on his people, they are fooled and kill all the animals and sell

Today has dawned on the Kanto Plain as Easter day should have dawned in any country-clear, bright, not a cloud in the sky. All in all a glorious day! Despite what my posts may convey or fail to convey, I do believe in God, his Son Jesus and the

If you are in the US or Japanese Navy, yesterday was just not a good day. On the US side: Lions and tigers and metal detectors oh my! That’s right, make sure you have a clean pair of boxers on if you are going through the gate of Yokosuka Naval

And effective today, I join the ranks of the leisure class-at least for a while. Today was my last full day at work. Clean out the desk, turn out the lights, wipe all the porn files off the computer. Stick a fork in me I am done! Hopefully, it will

About the stinking Chinese commie dictatorship. What are the chances of the world’s righteous, free, democratic, apple pie-munching nations boycotting the Beijing Olympics in protest against China’s crackdown in Tibet? Imagine the intensely gratifying and entertaining humiliation of the godless Communist tyranny, combined with the relief from the excruciating tedium

Yokosuka-20 March 2008. A taxi driver was found murdered. They think it was done by an American. How soon do you think the finger will be pointed at an American Sailor? My advice? Stock up on liquor for the impending lock-down. Update: “Going through the base gate this evening, the whole

Arthur C. Clarke passed away yesterday. Being something of a science fiction buff-but not a full fledged aficionado-it is with great sadness that we note his passing. I read a lot of his books, all of the 2001 series, and many of his articles in various magazines. 1968-yours truly, telling
