At least 10 exclamation points (including “Horsefeathers!” & “Please! That is not what the law is.”) in Judge Leon’s opinion granting Sen Kelly’s preliminary injunction against Sec’y Hegesth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Not sure I’ve seen that before. Definitely not “Horsefeathers!”

What is interesting is that the postwar Japanese constitution draft was written in English (by the U.S.) but the adopted version when translated (& thus definitive) defined “person”to mean “Japanese” (i.e. citizen). So courts have said some rights for citizens don’t apply to foreign residents.

There’s always the France Alps 2030 to do better.

As a little kid from Brooklyn, when NYC was facing bankruptcy, it was unimaginable.

DeAnzahad a nice swimming center. I took lessons there when I visited my aunt & uncle in the late 1970s.

Mostly Cosmos games & concerts (like the Beach Boys).

Today’s NY Times int’l edition has a book review of a new book on Easter Island.

The review indirectly mentions the use of Tadano cranes in 1994 to raise fallen statues.

I worked on that contract for Tadano. Good to see old deals that turned out well!

Back in high school, I used to be a vendor at what was then Giants Stadium. Only the older guys could sell things like hot dogs & knishes (& of course beer). Depending on the weather & the game, they did pretty well. Me, selling soda or ice cream, meh.

4th is a charm, or something like that?

I’m used to them being more square-ish, but that does look good. Need to supply your own mustard?

Player 1: Your turn to climb.

Add two more temporary visitors to Tokyo. But don’t expect them to do much duty-free shopping at department stores.

鮨 すきやばし 次郎 | 六本木ヒルズ - Roppongi Hills つけ場に立つのは、当代一の鮨職人・小野二郎氏の二男・小野隆士氏。白木のタネ箱には旬を告げる極上のタネが入っている。基本はおまかせという流れで、ヒラメやスミイカといった淡い味から始まる。前半の山場は赤身、中トロ、大トロとつづく鮪３貫。大トロには細かいサシが入っており、口に入れると人肌の酢飯と共に脂がすっと溶けだし、儚く消えてなくなる。

There is a Cinnabon maps.app.goo.gl/9UQhgLbec1x6... somewhat near Jiro Sukiyabashi son’s restaurant in Roppongi Hills. www.roppongihills.com/gourmet_shop...

I had clients who used only one password for all of their emailed files, either their company name or their TSE number identifier. That way they didn’t need to use a follow-up email. Brilliant security.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

Chaucer (Russell Peck)
National Security Policy [aka “Bombs & Rockets”] (John Mueller)
International Relations Theory (Bruce Bueno de Mesquita)
From Confucius to Zen (Neil McMullin)
Industrial American History (Christopher Lasch)

Rest in peace to a real one, Uncle Floyd.

In the A4 folder version, it notes she’s from Nara. So perhaps the deer holdback their hooves when dealing with a resident.

But compared to her mentor she gets the small pen treatment. 4/fin

Her face on the tea cup is complimentary (say compared to Suga-san). 3/

But I was pleased to see the Takaichi goods — including an A4 folder — show how to treat deer in Nara (spoiler: not by kicking them). 2/

So with all this speculation about a snap parliamentary election in Japan, I thought I should go to the Kokkai Gift Shop (on the “you never know” theory). The Takaichi snacks were being reduced in price but the Koizumi curry kakipi were not. 1/

Even worse, if you are a US citizen living & working abroad, you are paying federal taxes that are funding this & without accruing any real or “soft” benefits.

I suppose if you ever move out of Birth City, Sin City is a possible next abode. Free will and all that.

Even though I live in a Classy City House — which when said quickly can give the wrong impression of the building — it has to better than living in this mansion and having this as part of your address.

These were left by the Chōshū clan when they bivouacked at Kogenji (a sub-temple of Tenryuji in Kyoto) at the end of the Edo Period. They were on the “expel the barbarians & revere the Emperor” side, fighting to end the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Just don’t do what these temple guests did, to check if their blades were sharp — it gets written up in notices on the doors

If you remove the “solely” in your observation, the number of days grows significantly longer.

While the Senate is asking Trump why they started a war to kidnap a foreign leader perhaps they might also ask why Trump freed a former foreign leader convicted of the same kind of crimes.

I wish my country wore throwback jerseys today from the year of its founding, like the NY Rangers did. Fighting for freedom from an autocrat and not being under the control of one.

My reaction as well. I’m sure if I did get one because it said that, my wife would then get a “I’m with stupid ➡️” shirt (if those are still being made).
