Excellent turnout for my talk last night. Over 30 guests enjoyed my origin story, a primer on why they should treasure their local indigenous spirit, and some excellent Honkaku Shochu.
Sold all of the books I brought and the special bottles I brought did not come home with me.

For anyone in Fukuoka tomorrow, I’ll be giving an English language talk about Japan’s indigenous spirit, honkaku shochu.
Guests are primarily from the city government, tourism, and hospitality sectors, but anyone is welcome.

Long overdue read: The Alchemy of Air.
I didn’t study chemistry so I’d never learned about synthetic fertilizers. Multiple Nobel Prizes were earned for the innovation of capturing nitrogen from the atmosphere. This, unfortunately, also provided an ample supply of weapons grade explosive material.

The tragedy in Texas is horrible, but let’s be clear about who is at fault. This is a failure of leadership. Technologies exist that can provide early warning of floods. And yet the federal and state governments left it to the poor county of 50,000 souls to figure it out.
