Just finished listening to this again. Jeez, I sound so nervous. 🫣

But great episode! I enjoyed talking to @zodattack and @romes_aaa. We talk about my job, freelancing, technical writing, WWDC scholarship, education, internship, and so much more!

@0thernet @zocomputer hehe likewise 😉

funny enough we almost attended the general audience hosted by the pope! as they say, when in rome...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the liturgy, we are invited to participate — body, mind, and heart — and enter into a dimension inhabited by the Holy Spirit. In order to enter into this dimension, the liturgy is woven with signs and symbols that have a performative and transformative dimension. #GeneralAudience

I watched the a truck of plums roll out of a small Japanese town this afternoon and somehow ended up meeting the mayor...

I came to Wakasa, a small town in Fukui because of plums...specifically, ume plums

Wakasa grows about 80% of all the plums in the prefecture, almost all of them around five lakes that sit in a near-perfect pocket of warm air and still wind. Locals call it a "miracle growing area"

The variety grown here is Benisashi. The name means "touched with red," because the fruit blushes on whichever side catches the sun (shown in my sketch below)

They're so vital to this area that the plums grown here are gifted to the imperial families, as well as added to a giant trophy that's given to the sumo wrestler that wins the national May tournament...

So, this afternoon, the town gathered to send off the first harvest truck of the season. They had mascots, cameras, and various farmers and dignitaries gave speeches including the mayor, who gifted me a bottle of ume juice...

Then I met Yamada-san, who grows the plums in these orchards. He worked in California for 20 years learning commercial agriculture before he took his skills to the hills of Fukui to farm ume plums

In a weird twist, word got out that I was in town and they took me into the town center and gifted me umeboshi, which are pickled plums dried by hand under the sun

Just to top it off they gifted a bag of local Fukui rice. Japanese hospitality is no joke!

I filmed a video featuring Yamada-san and his growing expertise and I'm excited to get it out there! Quite a day
