Always welcome DMs from those kind old friends. Spending a quieter winter elsewhere.

@baanibaani4 Is Weekend.

Firmly occupying the top two positions.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

1. Greet people warmly with a nod and a sincere smile.

2. Never, ever, be the loudest person in the room.

3. Go out of your way to be kind to others.

4. Compassion, sympathy, empathy. Skills to be cultivated. Nothing takes more strength.

A rabbit to balance the gibberish.

@Alundra15 (In truth I appreciate the loud and boisterous part myself. Thinking more about this particular area where we live here. Eat. Drink. Be merry. All that good stuff applies.)

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@roche_dannielle We will definitely agree on the second half.

@NomadDragon7 🍁 🐰 🚴 🎁 🚂 🏡

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@softtosslefty A bit like mine. From way back when.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@Danworldtour It’s a short list.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@MrJohnnyRainman Something to look forward to.

⚾️ ♥️

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@obenkarp Thank you again.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

I hope he won’t mind a bit of public gratitude.

A thank you to my friend @obenkarp for this map of Vermont.

Framed, appropriately, I believe, with maples leaves from the yard. It will now find a home on a wall here in Nikko.

@camcavers Ha!

[powderbum @powderbum75]

Making use of the Furusato-Nozei system.

Pheasant Hamburg.

Because revenge* will be a dish best served with a side of sweet potatoes and grilled vegetables.

*or the Circle of Life, if you prefer

[powderbum @powderbum75]

Noting the large hole in the kitchen window, the broken kitchen cabinets, the bird shit and feathers scattered everywhere, I’m going to make the leap and say there might still be a very scared bird somewhere in this house.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@camcavers It would be a fun LinkedIn account to make.

And because I wanted to be the first person in history to use that adjective with LinkedIn.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@camcavers I would think “Peasant Hamburg” might actually be the passphrase of a snootier banker in that region.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@InakaCanuck @Benny_B_Henry Cheers.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@Benny_B_Henry I'll put it this way: my wife and I got four "free" lift tickets to our local ski hill, but attempting to do the same in Hokkaido or a bigger resort in Nagano would be a stretch.

It depends on income.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@JapanIntercult @BoarThoughts My pleasure.

Wait, wait.

That was supposed to be from the Boar account. 😉

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@JapanIntercult Some of the cuts on offer are tempting. I believe we will have to be repeat customers.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@JapanIntercult Depending on how these turn out, we might have inadvertently settled on a Christmas dinner idea.

[powderbum @powderbum75]

@Durf The キジの記事 that came with it notes that they don’t fly well.

Which gets a “no shit” in response from me.
