Hawado (Howard)

Adios

Sad, but profoundly true. I left the country of my birth, the country whose Navy I served in during the Vietnam Era, the country my father enlisted in the US Army to fight the Nazis that seem to be running the US into the ground. I will never set foot on US soil again.

The only reason DHS is taking action against the agent is because the abuse is documented.

WTF are you posting?

The current administration is allergic to facts, reality, and science

A walk around historic Takayama Jinya.

Walking around Gero, Japan; and awesome onsen town with very few foreign visitors.

Way up in the mountains in the tiny town of Gero. It's one of the most famous and historic onsen towns in Japan. It's a place to relax, eat, drink, and soak in the mineral springs baths.

Thanks

It took me finding my perfect partner to help me recover and become whole again.

I live in one of those hillside buildings overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Atami harbor.

I left NYC 2 years after my 26 year old wife of 5 years just fell over dead one morning from a stroke. They blamed a combination of cigarettes and birth control pills. I had a successful career as a professional photographer that collapsed as I descended into drug and alcohol abuse.

Great affordable Healthcare and awesome food here on the Pacific Coast of the Izu Peninsula.

BTW- I was born and raised in NYC.

All our friends thought we were crazy for moving to a new country (CR) at 72 & 69.

We love adventures and exploring other cultures.

I moved to Mill Valley in 78 and met my wife in Greenbrae in 83. We married in 84. We retired in 2018 and spent 6 years in Costa Rica before moving to Japan in 2024.

Thanks for the memory. I lived in Marin for over 45 years. I met and married my soul mate there 41 years ago.

The world is a better place without him.

Eh

Fucking all caps!

WTF are you talking about? GO AWAY!!!

Only if you let them.

A moment of tranquility:

What's next for SpaceX's Starship Mars rocket after Flight 10 success? SpaceX is thinking even bigger with its megarocket.

I think Musk wants to inceminate dozens of women, send them to Mars, and create a new society on another planet in his own image.

The disinformation campaign waged by the billionaire class has captured enough of the undereducated, illiterate, and lazy people (along with the help of Putin's propaganda machine) to get Trump elected. Democracy in the US is over, and it will take a 2nd great depression to get the masses to revolt.

God didn't make man.

Men created god!

When you live in Japan and don't feel like cooking dinner, going to a local izakaya restaurant is a great option. Depicted is the free appetizer provided.

Yes, but the tree you've posted has nothing to do with bonsai. Aren't you the self admitted NEWBIE to bonsai?
