So far 2011 is looking a lot like 2010!
I am liking my Virgin Mobile Internet access. Not only is it faster than Skywave that I have used for the last few years here in the hotel, it is faster than my DSL back in Arlington. This is 3G. There is 4G service back home – just across the street from our apartment. It would be really sweet if I could tell DSL to take a hike and use 4G wireless.
But, first I have to get home. Time to start seriously shopping for plane tickets back.
New Years Resolution – finish the photos from Japan. I want to make a book. A book that I can look at when I am in a wheel chair at the old ladies home.
For our New Years Day meal – I nuked some pork tenderloin and apples. No black eyed peas. Not a part of local tradition. Going to the Shinto Temple for fortunes is a part of the tradition. But, I had to take a pass on that. No car. I got plenty of fortunes in Japan. Maybe some year of the Tiger fortunes will work in the year of the Rabbit.
Speaking of fortunes… one of our many groups of wackos – they seem to think that The End is Near. Very Near. As in May 21, 2011. Check it out. Problem is these folks said the world was going to end in 1994. If at first you don’t succeed – try again.
I thought I had to wait until Dec 21, 2012. I shall start planning my “End of the World” party soon.
