One time, wayyyy back in Kokura, squished one in a room and the eggs came out and hatched. Little ones scurried everywhere. It was like a friggin horror film. 😱 I still shudder…

What a great experience and a very cool shot.
I enjoyed watching (on YT) the day by day tear down at Lake Pleasant before being shipped down to Pima Air museum. Hope to get down there this year to see in person.

In 35 years of living in or visiting Japan I’ve never seen sake offered at a hotel for breakfast, ever. Since I’m on vacation and haven’t had a proper drink yet, yes, yes I did try all 3. 😋
My verdict was the Sugidama from Momokawa is the perfect balance for Japanese breakfast pairing. 👍 #japan #aomori #sake #wine
Note the sign says “Sake in the morning.”

Smoked some ribs. Hoisin glaze. A bit overcooked but better than my last batch. Fam chowed them hard. Served with butter parmigiana pasta and a harissa ranch fennel + cabbage slaw.

Also, glad they mentioned this: “She found that first-generation Japanese immigrants, the Issei, had a distinctive version of English. The experience of internment during World War II led them to insist that later generations sound unimpeachably “American””.

Black American architects don’t get much attention, let alone black female architects. So I think Norma Merrick Sklarek is a good person to recognize. She was the first black woman to be a licensed architect in NY and in California.
I have been in many of her buildings like Terminal 1 at LAX, US Embassy Tokyo, Pacific Design Center, Santa Monica Place, Mall of America
She has Wikipedia page but also more here:

😳 Up to 20ft / 6 m storm surge tomorrow for parts of Florida. That’s scary as hell. Half of deaths from hurricanes are storm surge related (weather.com).
Hope people in those zones are taking it very seriously and evacuating. #helene #Florida #Hurricane #hurricanehelene

Went on a nice hike about 2 hrs outside Phoenix. Was going down a steep trail and at a cross back U turn I caught a toe and went flying face first down hill. My phone in hand flew out bounced and started down the embankment towards a small cliff. I braked hard for a meter or two using my entire body. Stopped. Told my fam I was ok (not true) and did a human chain with them to get my phone. Finished the hike down/up but my feet, knees and chest are messed up. In bed popping ibuprofen. 😅
