1. Currently reading World War Z. I just looked up author to see if he has an account here (I don't think he does) but a post says that the author has dyslexia.

RAIDER MAYER WON'T GET PUSHED AROUND will be free on kindle Friday, November 28.

I think of this as HI/LO. Meaning high interest, low difficulty level.
Fun book for anybody (above age seven?) but especially for kids who don't like to read, or have trouble reading.

1. "Savvy Sistahs" is by Brenda Jackson @authorbrendajacks.bsky.social .

I'd read her books before on my kindle, great writer!

In this book, there are three women who get together because all of them are businesswomen. They talk about their lives, and so on. They are all high-power women!

Green phones are public phones.
FYI: In major disaster, they are free to use. If in Japan, during major disaster, you can call your family overseas. There are more of these phones than you would expect, even in 2025.

Unrelated:
On Xixxex-- several A.I. videos. So it begins. Fake shit. I give up.

Fukushima frog

This is in front of Ogawago Station, in Southeast Fukushima Prefecture.

Frogs are symbolic in Japan, as well as incredibly cute.

1. Here I am at Ogawago Station in Fukushima Prefecture Prefecture.

Over the years, I went to ALL the stations on coast of Fukushima, in order, north to south. It was interesting, going through the area hit hardest.

After that I came north.
But after 2 stations on this line, this is my last.

Fukushima heron...

I think the heron noticed me and flew away. I waited a while, wanting to see them again. But nope. And then walked on.

Also---you can see how far I am standing away. I had my zoom on, taking photos.

@everyheron.bsky.social

This is the next photo.

I thought it was mates....?

But I read what you wrote----perhaps they are battling it out?

Fukushima herons

The other heron (the mate, probably the female?) was there all along! Tucked down. These herons were relatively uncaring that I was nearby.

Maybe they wanted to be on the internet? lol

I deleted 4 posts of mine responding to a post that calls for boycott of Amazon.

I am against Trump.

I am NOT going to boycott Amazon.

I deleted my posts bc I am trying to keep my BlueSky feed positive. I discuss issues at Xixxex.

I have self-pubbed on Amazon, will self-pub on amazon.☺️♥️ Proud!

1. I borrowed this book from another library in Tohoku, (ILL.)

It is called "The Japanese Crane: Bird of Happiness."

It is by Dorothy Guyver Britton.

Years ago I began researching red-capped cranes for my manuscript. I found it to be a tough bird to research. Why?

Ugh one of my fish pictures is wrong.

I'll redo it on Xixxex.
