Resilience
The resilience of the Japanese people in the face of a tumultuous start to 2024.It’s been a rough start to the new year for Japan as one disaster begets another. We are of course talking about the evolving situation at Haneda airport, as well as the Noto Peninsula. Our hearts go out to everyone affected but we also want to highlight the many heroes of the situation: the news reporters who calmly and accurately delivered life-saving information to victims of the earthquake, to the crew of commercial airliner who safely evacuated close to 400 passengers in a matter of minutes. Japan is prone to natural disaster, and it’s times like these that all the preparation and training that typically goes unnoticed and un-thanked, really shine. Japan should be proud.
Sample side-effect.
I stopped at the Ace hardware store, near me. It seems they have more staff then customers. But, maybe like me, their customers prefer a family owned, smaller, but well-stocked store to the gigantic warehouse with few helpers.
I came for a replacement for the one bulb that went out of twelve bulbs in my bathroom. Considered fancy 25 years ago when my tiny condo was built. Now they are what WW would call dated, and have become hard to find.
I have bought the bulbs there before, so I knew where to look. They are pricey, but the bulbs last along time. They had 4 boxes, for clearance at $9, usually $18. So I picked up one, then another, and one more. Leaving one for someone who might be desperate?
When I got home, I replaced the dark bulb, and when I went to store the extra boxes, there was an already full box! This age of 82 has some interesting side effects?
Just because ...
