• There is a flea market within walking distance at the Yahoo Dome Baseball Stadium today.  Gotta go and buy something that I didn't know existed and that I don't need.  I will TRY to just look, I really will. 

  Later:  Here is Yahoo Dome, the local baseball stadium.  Those who wanted to enter the flea market had to pay 700 Yen to get in once for the day.  I felt like beefing a bit about how I shouldn't have to pay for the privelege of looking over people's junk, but I don't suppose that the people in the ticket office have anything to do with that as they are just cashiers.  Hey, I was a cashier once! 

  After paying to get in it would be a waste not to get anything, right?  Fortunately, there was not much that I wanted, just a blingy barrette, a used white MCM bag and a brightly colored used child's kimono, all quite cheap.  There was a very nice fellow selling lovely icons from Europe for only around $300.  I thanked him for letting me look and moved on.  They were really very nice, but not that nice.  Anyway, here is the scenery.  I forgot to take the beeeg camera, so these are from my phonecam.

  

  Sadaharu Oh, Japan's home run king is the coach for the local team, the Hawks.

  

  I know I must seem very worldly lately.  I have been in the Word, just not writing it down here.  John MacArthur's present series on Daniel is excellent as usual.  I mean, what else could JMac be but excellent?  I have also been finishing up Pastor Nishida's Revelation series by listening to tapes borrowed from church in Tokyo and now I have to write that up here.  I have also been doing studies in Isaiah with a friend. 

  People in Nevada were offended because Michelle Obama said Nevaaaahda indead or Neveada?  How stupid is that?  Maybe living in two or three languages has made me a bit more tolerant of honest mistakes.  In the news it  just looks like everyone is just waiting to make petty linguistic  PC pounces on everyone else.
