Healthy Sushi ... but not this way!

Aug

Okay, now this is gone too far.
I am all for brown rice when I eat THAI or CHINESE FOOD. But for SUSHI, I can't imagine how it tastes. It is wrong.

This is at local SAFEWAY.

Outdoor Footwear Worn in Japan

Aug

10

Jika-Tabi (tabi that contact the ground") is a type of outdoor footwear worn in Japan. It was invented in the 20th century.

Also known (outside Japan) as "tabi boots", they are modelled on tabi, traditional split-toe Japanese socks. Like other tabi, jika-tabi have a divided toe area so that they can in theory be worn with slip-on thonged footwear, but they are heavy-duty, and resemble boots.

Shojiro Ishibashi, the founder of Bridgestone Corporation, is credited with their invention.

In search of radio station.

Aug

9

I used to listen to TALK radio stations. Then I realized most of the commercials that I hear on those radio stations are:

(1) Get out of debt
(2) Credit card relief
(3) Low rate mortgage

That means many people who listen to those radio stations are in debt. I don't think I want to be labeled as such. So, now I am shopping around the radio stations to find the right commercials.

Have you every paid attention to the commercials on the station that you are listening to? If not, you might want to try.

This picture was taken at Friday Night's Lenny Wilkens Charity Dinner. The gentleman I took a picture with is Mr. Tommy Davis. He played for Los Angles Dodgers from September 22, 1959. That was 24 days after I was born. I was very honored to share a table with this and other sports celebrities.

This picture was taken at Okachimachi, three stations north of Tokyo Terminal. This is an older part of Tokyo where there are a lot of small shops and restaurants.

I enjoy visiting this area of Tokyo every time I go there.
