Safeway was open after all. I think they have the sign turned off so it's less of a target for enemy airstrikes.
Unfortunately, the store's been picked clean of nearly everything. Empty shelves reminiscent of the worst days of COVID-19. Rationing in effect. Devastation everywhere you turn.

"Well, I'm sorry. Ah... If the pilot's good, see. I mean, if he's really sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low, you ought to see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane, like a '52, vroom! There's jet exhaust, flyin' chickens in the barnyard!"

Maybe there's less need for protected bike lanes because drivers in Japan a) don't drive enormous killing machines, b) don't/can't reach high speeds in busy metropolitan areas, c) live in a respectful culture, and d) aren't aggressively trying to run down cyclists at every opportunity.

For those following along at home, this is a menu for a typical ramen place in Tokyo. It's outside. You push buttons for what you want, drop in coins, get a ticket, and wait. Someone will come get you and seat you when your food is ready.

Visiting Japan spoiled me. Got to my hotel late. The only open place was "fast food" ramen.
Entire meal was about $7 USD (including egg & drink) and they tweezed in the garnish like it was a Michelin restaurant. The photo doesn't do justice to how ample the serving was.

This is Japan's equivalent of an F-150.
To most Americans, this looks like a toy, but the Japanese seem to have a thriving economy and vibrant small business sector that doesn't require shuttling 1000s of pounds of stuff around in giant pedestrian- and road-crushing behemoths.

In January, more than 120 Starlinks deorbited. "The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."

![A graph of daily Starlink satellite reentries. The x axis goes from 2018 to the present. The y axis is 0 to 3+. There is a small spike in activity in late 2020, another larger one in early 2022, then things calm down before spiking again in early 2024, which continues to rise.
From the accompanying article at space weather.com:
'UNPRECEDENTED' STARLINK REENTRIES: What goes up, must come down--which could be a problem when you're launching thousands of satellites. Since 2018, SpaceX has placed more than 7,000 Starlink satellites into Earth orbit, and now they are starting to come down. In January alone, more than 120 Starlinks deorbited, creating a shower of fireballs.
"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."
Planners have long known this would happen. First generation (Gen1) Starlink satellites are being retired to make way for newer models. "More than 500 of the 4700 Gen1 Starlinks have now reentered," says McDowell.
When Starlinks reenter, they disintegrate before hitting the ground, adding metallic vapors to the atmosphere. A study published in 2023 found evidence of the lingering devris. In February 2023, NASA flew a WB-57 aircraft 60,000 feet over Alaska to collect aerosols. 10% of the particles contained aluminum and other metals from the "burn-up" of satellites.
Right: NASA's WB-57 high altitude airplane. [more]
What we're observing is a giant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry. The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.
On the bright side, each reentry produces a beautiful fireball--and the odds are increasing tha…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:urarilre5xm4hmwzaizongcs/bafkreihpekv55jyxkukbxeedv6vsrxiiklsgaqtubn7arek5syvphwchii@jpeg)
