I also bought some donuts. 日本の一番怖い無人販売所を訪ねました。　そしてドーナツを買いました。 Bring Quarters and Watch Out for Zombies The pandemic has kept me from my second home, Akihabara, for most of this year. I’m not the only one, as the lack of tourists has caused some famous locations to… Continue reading November 2020 – Vending After the Apocalypse →

This month I took the camera out around my neighborhood looking for any excuse to not be in my apartment.

The pandemic continues. I spend most of my time working. Thankfully my company has not laid anyone off yet. In my free time I play an awful lot of video games and on-line board games.

That title is a little scary! We do not yet know the depth of our predicament, but the COVID-19 threat began this month.  By the end of the month, events were being canceled, stores were sold out of masks and toilet paper, and I was regularly working at home to avoid the crowded commuter trains. But… Continue reading February 2020 – The Coming of the Plague →
