Congrats to the reporter!
Ken Silverstein and T. Christian Miller, of the Los Angeles Times, won the Malcolm Forbes Award for best business reporting from abroad in newspapers or wire services for “The Politics of Petroleum.” (Found here.)
I wonder if this one comes with a hefty cash prize. Congrats!
Jes and Yuka
Jes sent me this pic a while ago . . . it’s about time I stuck it up here for the world to see. Yuka is still hiding from me these days!
Phone pics
Walking around town with a phone in the pocket and a camera on the phone. Here’s a shot of the little-known cousin to that famous convenience store. It’s out west of Shimbashi station.
And here are some poisonous fugu in Kichijoji, waiting to be sliced and diced. Their tasty parts will go on plates and their deadly parts will go in a trash can with a legally mandated padlock on it so animals and dastardly people can’t get at the stuff.
Map of the old realm
Here’s a map of Bochi. Some of you might like to see it.
Spotted in the wild!
I wandered down to the bookstore on the first floor during lunch. There, on the English book shelves! A real, live, in-the-wild copy of the book. It had an obi (a half-height paper wrapper with a blurb in Japanese about the book, with my name on it in katakana) and it was for sale.
I thought about buying it so the store would know all about the wild demand for the thing, but I decided to leave it there for someone else to come along and find. I’ve already read the thing, you see.
