(OT) To Readers of this Blog


It's not that there isn't any more news about the Fukushima I NPP accident or about the Japanese politics or about anything I want to write about. There are plenty.

But since this summer I have had to take care of my health problems (nothing major but nonetheless needing attention) while at the same time doing whatever I can to make ends meet, and I simply have not had a decent enough chunk of time to research and write a post. I'm a slow writer and it often takes several hours to write a single post.

A quick thank-you to people who have kindly donated to this blog since late last year and whom I have failed to thank in person. I'm not doing this for money, but it helps me keep going. Thank you.

Y.K. from Ithaca, New York
S.L. from Vienna, Austria
E.P. from Diemen, Netherlands
S.L. from Joseph, Oregon
J.F.K. from Victoria, Australia
M.L. from Levie, France
B.K. from Japan/Germany
A.T. from Severna Park, Maryland
J.K. from Chassell, Michigan

Special thanks to S.L. in Vienna, Austria, who has regularly donated a generous amount for over three and a half years now, from the very beginning of the Fukushima nuclear accident.

And thank you everyone who come to my blog to read my posts. I'll be back soon.


-------------------------

For those who do Twitter, I manage to tweet (as it is short) articles, comments. But those are not limited to the nuclear accident, and most of them are in Japanese (I'm trying to tweet in both Japanese and English). My English-speaking followers must be very frustrated. You could follow me @exskf.

    THANK you!

  3. Feel free to include how Westerners' responses to topics at hand appear to a Japanese person. We, they, may actually learn something. About ourselves.

  4. I would like to know too, Anonymous. Am interested in Japanese people and culture, as my late grandmother had a great appreciation for Oriental art (for instance) in all of it's forms. Her gardens were breathtaking, and clearly inspired from across our shared great ocean.
    It is very difficult at best for me to learn anything by what i say, only by what i learn from many wonderful and respectable people, such as LaPrimavera.
    Domo arigato gozaimashita, Ultraman. May your spirit see love, fulfillment and joy for ten thousand years, in my humble prayer.

  14. Thinking of you, LaPrimavera.

    I hope Dr. Yamashita is haunted by smiling faces everywhere he goes.

  16. Thank you for your insightful comments about the Japanese society and how it interacts with the nuclear industry. Sweden (one of the most reactordense countries in the world) resembles your country in many ways,
    - extremely powerful nuclear industry
    - weak democracy due to "zombie" ppl, -> easy to manipulate

    Take care, listen to some Chopin e.d /robert
    PS: I said it before: I would really like the idea of you writing a book, I have appreciated your thoughts about "things", but first things first :your health!

  17. Since "O/T" is the undisputed theme here, here's another ..

    Friedman, once again, 'concept-bombing' the species' common sense:

    "It has to stop, not so we "save the planet." The planet will always be here. This is about us."
    Surely he was talking about the dumping of reverse osmosis salts .. back into the Mediterranean and the inevitable increase of salinity over time of the Mediterranean? Surely.

  23. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking group called dark web, they are really good at what they are doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying . Few days later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $5,000. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life with my Family. So far i have being able to withdraw up to $50,000 without any stress of being caught. I don’t know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. email Mr Rex via rexwalkerhacker@gmail.com

  24. I am sure a lot of us are still unaware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between $5,000-$50,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable.
