I always find it interesting that on the border between Kyoto and Osaka Prefectures, the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers converge to become the Yodo river. And further upstream, the Uji river starts out as Seta River, draining out of Lake Biwa.

As a result of watching videos of rare 70s Japanese funk and soul, I’m getting ads for nursing homes 🤦‍♂️

One of the most unhinged and badass hazard labels I’ve ever seen. Peeled this off a drill in a gravel quarry around 1997, it’s been stuck to the back of my Casio sk-5 sampling keyboard ever since.

初の日本語スキート。なぜか画面の右下に言語選択ができるけど、なんなためにあるかな?
My first post in Japanese. For some reason there’s a button on the lower right to select the language, but it doesn’t seem to effect anything.

The longer I teach junior and senior high school students, the more I feel like a holdover from a dead century, a person from the 1900s (or in extreme cases a peat bog man)
