I’m confused. Is this political or not?

I don’t know, but I like it this size. Feels homey. Except for the large communist presence.

I made a joke about a roof, but it was over everyone’s heads.

I stay away from most news sites. I only skim CBC and BBC. I constantly look back in histroy for perspective. It helps me realize we are living in one of the best times in humanities’ existance.

You said it so much better than I did.

Unless there’s some critic event like a civil war, I’m guessing it will be a slow decline of the U.S. I don’t think any country stands to replace it, at least not in the same amount of dominace that the United States had. I think two or three countries, including the U.S., will dominate economic and military power for quite a number of years with a great deal of shuffling between them.

The real question is whether the buying power changed.

My dog used to bark at jets.

Hey, that’s great. Thanks.

How to spell rhythm.

Yeah, tattoos are looked down upon in Japan. My nephew moved there and he can’t go to the beach or to an onsen. Has to wear a shirt all the time.

Try an onsen if you like cultural stuff. Read up on it before. There’s a definite routine. BTW: You’ll be naked and there are likely female workers wandering through the baths. (50 is not “rather old.”)

Was that a goat?

Big Trouble

Try Hellotalk.

BBC and CBC. They’re not unbiased, but I haven’t found any better.

A good base is knowing milli is a thousandth and kilo is a 1000 1000 milligram = a gram, 1000 grams = a kilogram 1000 millililters = a liter, 1000 liters = a kiloliter 1000 millimeters = a meter, 1000 meters = a kilometer

Plus, they’re all connected. 1 gram of water is 1 milliliter and takes up 1 cubic centimeter.

I have no choice but to believe in it.

I was off at university, 2500 km away. We wrote letters and saw each other at Christmas and summers. It went on for two years, then I moved back. We’ve been married 45 years.

Restricting news. I look at CBC and BBC and that’s all. I feel like most other news sites try to increase anxiety.

In Vietnam, they call it the American War.
