To begin with, the North Korean military launched another missile this morning. It soared over Japan and plummeted into the Pacific Ocean. (Although being North Korean, I imagine it wheezing and coughing its way over Japan and then finally sputtering dismally out into the water. When’s the last time you used a North Korean-made computer or rode in a North Korean-made car?  The country is not known for its engineering skills.)

This is my neighbor’s house. What do you spy with your little eye?  I will zoom in.

A neighborhood cat!  What a pretty little face.

My neighbor lives in the house. She is in her eighties and still going strong.  Monday is “Respect for the Aged Day” (Keirou no Hi) 敬老の日

I will buy her a little present to say “Wow! You are amazing and I love you!” She has a wonderful personality.
