@toneji Ah - yes, I understand… we watched NHK a few hours ago & areas along the coast near Tokyo seemed to be getting a lot of rain. I’m glad it’s more calm in Kansai!

@toneji Looks like you are getting a lot of rain today!

Good Morning!

@toneji It's now two years that we have visited - we didn't visit this spring because of Covid and now it looks like we won't be able to visit until next spring. It's been too long! We miss Japan and all our friends and family there. ????

@toneji The Sato Kaede bakery looks amazing! I do know most of the businesses and have eaten at several of the places in the video before myself, but never at that bakery. Will need to check it out next time when we are in town!

There's also a brief glance at the shop of my wife's relatives in the video. Reassuring to see it being OK. :)

A Smokey Sunrise

We’ve been lucky with the wind over the last few weeks as fires have been raging in remote Northern California, but the smoke has slowly been creeping into the Bay Area.

Air quality here close to the coast is still OK (AQI around 40ish), but you can smell it in the air.

I have no idea how to watch this movie - I think it has only been on the indy festival circuit - but I NEED TO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaLqKLf2f7U&t=102s

My latest baking result. Very tasty with sunflower seeds, but the center was a little too dense. Need to try that again.

The sunset on Monday was pretty special.

@toneji Uh-oh... that's not good. Stay safe!

@toneji I'm a big Superfly fan! Really like all of her songs a lot. :)

Good Morning!

@toneji ????

@toneji She’s so lucky! Those are very nice computers. Literally the fastest computer Apple makes! ????

@toneji Ohhh - the new one with the M1 chip?

Good sunrise today!

@toneji I think I've seen this guy several years ago in Kouhaku. ????

Got up early to bake some bread and to admire the first light of dawn.

Good Morning!

Good Morning!
