@japan_nobunaga When I was in Japan after the tsunami we flew into Sendai and returned to Tokyo by train. The rails were still somewhat warped at first, but they smoothed out after several minutes and we pulled into Tokyo on time. Thank you for explaining why we were able to take the train.

@japan_nobunaga Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, after shoveling our driveway and sidewalks, my father and I would then do the same for our elderly neighbors, then we'd get in the car to do the same for elderly relatives. We were never asked, nor were we paid - it was just what neighbors did.

@japan_nobunaga You write wonderfully; I love the way you find the positive aspects in even the little things. I just purchased all of your books for my Kindle - I can't wait to get started.

@japan_nobunaga I landed at the Sendai airport less than a month after the tsunami. We could see the high-water marks on the terminal. We were there to help teach physicians how to work in contaminated areas. Until now I did not know this story about how we were able to land there. Thank you!

@Aria_Babu Very interesting blog post - a lot of great information and well-written to boot. Well done!

@yuuiiichann Looking for you, of course.

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@yuuiiichann It's probably just possessed by a minor demon, or maybe under alien control. Nothing to worry about - happens all the time.

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@yuuiiichann With me, no need to shoot at all - just shout "Bang, bang" in a Japanese accent and I'll slow down enough for you to catch me.

@brockpierson Netscape was pretty for the era...although I liked Mosaic better.

@yuuiiichann Sounds like my former Japanese girlfriend. I learned a lot from her - which all of my later girlfriends appreciated very much. Especially proper use of the 👅.

@YumiSakuraTHB Why choose - can't it be "all of the above"?

@AtlanticoDulce And, for what it's worth.... I had prostate cancer that would not have been detected if I had not been checked - no symptomsat all. A few dozen sessions of radiation cured it, but without the testing it would not have ended well.

@heycupcakemia Quality always beats quantity.

@brockpierson Let's see.... I learned to program FORTRAN but typing punch cards; my first computer had a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive, a 20 MB hard drive and blazed away at 8 MHz; and it had a 300 baud modem. Back in the day....

@EvaBrownie2 Is no-waisted an option?

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@Aerovances Best view in the plane is in the nose! I never paid for it; got upgraded a few times. Loved it!

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@luvv_emyy Why choose? Do you offer a tasting menu?

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@urbloomshoney I think I tore a hamstring just watching this.

[Louis Wu @LouisWu705]

@Amykissess_ It is true. And older men are more appreciative too! They are so happy to be with you that they are usually eager to make you feel good.
