The tofu factory in our neighborhood caught fire last night, so we were kept up for a couple of hours by sirens, shouting firemen, and the news helicopters that were circling the scene. We live on the 6th floor of an apartment building, and the fire was only about 60-70m away, so we had a pretty terrifying view of it. Although, as the above photo, stolen from the Kahoku Shimpo shows, it was a big fire, somehow nobody was killed or injured. However, it was a very visceral reminder to shut off our kerosene heater before going to bed.

Yamatonokuni, hello. It is Bob. It is after a long absence. A fire and the earthquake are great. How we Japanese coped with them from old days was a big problem. Americans are different. How do you think of the thing of the President Obama? Perhaps The "Real Yamatonokuni" is not nice for Obama, prefers Bush.
Hi Bob! Yes, earthquakes and flaming tofu are big problems in the Tohoku region. The Real Yamatonokuni guy (aka YellowPeeps) has not posted in a long time. I am concerned about his health.
