Good post Desert Tortoise, General Average seems like an escape clause in this case though as there was never any danger to the cargo.

She isn't the first nor will she be the last to try to look good as she ages. Most people are similar in that feeling. She looks good IMO, but I say the same about Dolly Parton.

in regards to dealing with Russia Trump was bad, but Biden is not fit to do the job.

Headline scared me off - but article sold me, good job!

I remember 1990 was early too - just the same as this year.

Cosport is the problem in this story. They have the audacity to still try and make money off this and think Japan is responsible for their profit - unbelievable. They've probably spent all the money on themselves already.

Under extremely trying circumstances Japan is trying to make a go of this and as far as I can see the athletes around the world are getting ready and hoping for the best.

Great! Playing at Koshien is a once in a life time dream/experience for so many.

Rule #1

As long as USA has an enemy it's good for business.

We find it so humorous/ridiculous to see the advertisements of Dr.s smoking in the fifties, but scowl and/or avoid so many other fifties statements that somehow carry more weight.

The first live helicopter shots of the tsunami around Sendai plains were my strongest memory of that day.

Moron, China will own the defence contractors soon enough without having fired a shot.

That was an easy and obvious decision, tougher ones are ahead. So easy to be a naysayer but if somehow Japan can pull this off, where we are now, with only 4 months to go I'll be very impressed.

I say take out the garlic and add a splash of Bulldog

Lovely picture! Did they really jam "hundreds" in there though? If so, kawaisou O-hime-sama at the bottom...

Schitt's Creek is labeled as a comedy, but it's not funny. Tried to watch it and be entertained, but no

Sounds like a thoughtful and reasonable man.

Surprised Mejiro is at #1, it's a great station to call home.

Good for them! Less money on F1 and more on HondaJet seems like a good choice, would love to fly in one.

I applaud them for taking this on. Of course It won't be just traditional post & beam construction ( 在来工法) as used in individual houses, but will hopefully incorporate the essence of it with innovation while still using wood. As a powerful Japanese company, Toyota's approach to the future seems to me much better than the haphazard approach of Masayoshi Son.

Find that wooden (Sugi I believe) panelling design uncomfortable combined with everything else in the photo.

No and no and no.

Hey bass4funk, hehehehehe

Pretty meh photo for picture of the day.

Looking forward to this match. Usually would never say Serena got over-powered, but I think Osaka will do it.

I remember reading a sign that said that the castle was painted black to absorb the sunlight and keep the castle warmer during the cold winters in Nagano.

I don't disagree with this theoretically, but was that really the case?

Matsumoto Castle is worth a visit, but certainly make it more than a day trip from Tokyo. Spend a night and enjoy the many local places. Also wainscoting cannot be the correct term or inference for the black exterior portion, it must have been for some defensive reason I imagine.

I remember first cringing at the yakisoba "dog", so you never know, it might catch on.

One of them is leaving the rest in their wake. 2020 games that never took place in 2020...

Trust the insurance companies to make a buck off of anything
