😲 I always wondered what happened to American hero Charles Ramsey, who helped rescue 3 abducted women & girls in 2013. Glad he's alive and well!👏🏿💙 (see link in next post if not familiar).

Not at all — it's like the distance from Ottawa to Winnipeg (not an exact distance comparison, but you get the idea). The epicenter was somewhere off the Pacific coast of the area shown on Google Maps, so it's nowhere near us in Hiroshima. I read that dozens of people there were injured.🙏🏿

Hahaha reminds me of this meme from several years ago. I showed it to several Japanese friends without telling them that it was English, and they all had trouble at first but eventually realized the trick. Funny how our brains work😆

It's on like Donkey Kong!🥊😂

I found this vending machine inside a shopping mall in Hiroshima a couple of years ago and also wondered how common they were.

Eagles look like *ish today, and their own fans are booing in Philadelphia!🤣 Good... I need the Bears to beat them for obvious reasons. #CowboysNation

Ready for Black Friday y'all? 😆

Thanks! Unfortunately this year's Labor Thanksgiving Day didn't fall on the same day as US Thanksgiving Day, but there are still plenty of "Black Friday" promotions here too😂

We'll have to wait until 2028 for another joint celebration. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

Good morning, friends! 💙☕ Stopped for a quick cafe latte on the way home from dropping my daughter off at school. Nice and sunny in Hiroshima today but a little chilly earlier.

I hope all is well your way.✌🏿

I thought I was going crazy or having dizzy spells for a minute... felt our condo moving a bit, but there was no local earthquake warning. Turns out a pretty strong quake hit the Kumamoto area (about 400km / 248mi from Hiroshima).

I hope everyone's okay🙏🏿

But I'm not sure that's completely true. Android applies a color filter on *some apps, but others require developers to enable dark-mode or "themed icons". In the folder below, several of my apps are still default.

I agree that many might prefer the ability to apply dark-mode to apps individually.

It's beautiful on my Pixel (Android)

Btw you can also play around with icon colors. The second from left gives true dark-mode icons regardless of colorful wallpaper.
November 19, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Android (Pixel) has it too, but it's under "Wallpaper Settings". Access by touching/holding any open space on the home screen. Select "Wallpaper & Style", then "Dark Theme". Any installed apps with dark-mode icons enabled will change. *NOTE: On Android, the icon color adjusts to blend with wallpaper

I'm so old I remember a guy who punted without jumping.😂 RIP to both Ray Guy and Reggie Roby

I'm sure they'd love to repeal MLK Day, but Hegseth already banned heritage months for DOD. I used to love awareness campaigns/events, especially ethnic cuisine for Black History, AAPI Heritage, Hispanic Heritage etc. featured at on-post restaurants/mess halls.

Racist drunk "kegseth" doesn't get it

LMAO! I go to the Marine base all the time for MCX, Commissary, and occasionally the clinic. No need for a special trip on Veterans Day.🤷🏿‍♂️ The Army post doesn't have much. Mostly just HQ & admin — no PX, limited MWR, tiny consolidated O/NCO Club/restaurant, and the smallest Commissary in the world.
November 16, 2025 at 1:52 AM
There's a small Army post and a Marine Corps base within an hour's drive (depending on traffic) in either direction. Both usually have special Veterans Day lunch events and of course sales at the Exchange & Commissary. I've never attended those though.

I know his convictions came after these appointments, but there's something seriously wrong with our justice system when judges appointed by Trump later granted him king-like immunity, continue to rule in his favor on illegal executive actions, and presided over/dismissed his classified docs trial.🤬
