Not much to say tonight, tomorrow is a work day up here. After going out to an Izikaya,(Japanese drinking restaurant) have had more than my fair share of beer and food. A good time, but now I’m sleepy. Have been watching the Typhoon coverage down in Kyushu. Nagasaki and Kyushu

Just read that Bush has nominated Roberts to be Chief Justice. How he could bypass, 7 sitting justices to promote a newcomer who has not even been confirmed for his previous nomination is beyond me. WTF? Guess he never read about Abe Fortas while he was slouching his way through

I had a nice little post typed up about a nice day today when Blogger ate the damn thing. There is nothing more frustrating than going to hit “Publish Post” and getting the white screen of death! “Cannot find server” my ass!! Tried to recover in the history file, no

Trip up on the Shin was great! I still have yet to understand why within 40 minutes of boarding any train, I am fast asleep. Both me and the S.O. heads on each others shoulders sawing logs while the country side went whizzing by. Got some good pix, but I

Just found out that William Rehnquist has died. Sad news for America, because I always felt he did an excellent job navigating the judicial minefield that both parties had created by asking the courts to support their political agendas. A great man. May God give you rest and peace. The

The Nancy Kissel case is over. The papers having wrung every bit of juicy newsprint out if they could, are now free to go back to their normal pursuits. As for Nancy, well she probably needs to take up reading and become friendly with the prison matron…..she is going to

Another week, another typhoon. That’s right, Typhoon Nabi is bearing down on Okinawa and is disrupting our carefully planned effort to get stuff moved to the Philippines and Utapao. It’s also putting a crimp in my plans to play some golf before going up to the Tohoku region for a

I was rightly reprimanded for an extremely poor attempt at levity in a previous post. I rightfully deserved to get my head slapped and to anyone I offended I offer a sincere and heartfelt apology. Waking up this morning is like reading a tale of biblical disaster. Consider if you

Yesterday was the official kickoff of the election season. As a result the election speaker trucks were on the road: That is a DPJ（民主党） truck preaching the message about why Koizumi needs to go. Before then I had come across a Communist Party truck and all they could talk about
