I had to clean up two spills last night. Accidentally knocked a bottle each of "mirin" and cooking oil onto the floor while trying to find a roll of paper towels. 😖

I managed to grab a picture of the raised light bar on a police car. 🚔 This was at the scene of a traffic accident I passed by in the northern part of the city.

The Japanese penchant for oddball ads carries on in the online world...big red letters that translate to "lots of f*rts" along with a smiling woman doing squats. 😅😂😂

It was kind of odd but I ended up watching a half hour long short drama film that was an ad stuck on the end of a Youtube video. It had been shot on an iPhone 16. The English subtitles helped keep my attention, too. Digging a little further I found it was made by one of my favourite directors, Kore-eda Hirokazu.

Had a Cuban sandwich for dinner tonight. 😋

"Uh, oh".... Not sure how this came about. Hidden behind the car are an elderly couple who I assume were in the vehicle. 🚗

At a point before the exit that leads to the prefectural government hall, the truck ahead of me put on its emergency winkers. I slowed down and copied its move into the left lane. There was a dropped muffler and tailpipe in the middle of the right lane. 😳

one of the Yonezawa teachers is off sick. So I'll be driving about 130 km (round trip) to teach one class in Tendo before teaching evening classes in Yonezawa. 😅

Had a closer look at the house. Identified a number of things which need some work. Most of these will be fixed by workers hired by my real estate office.

The garbage collection and pickup space is about three blocks away from the house. 🏠

at home in bed trying to shake off a nasty nagging cough. Had a bad attack of it yesterday and left work early. Skipped today's bowling tournament. 😷
