From June 11 to 19, Tako-cho is having a hydrangea festival.
The area along Kuriyama River is especially nice.

They have a campground adjacent to the Kujukuri Coast. It looks like there are open-air baths and a dog run, so it is well-equipped.

How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Even now, it's 98°F/37°C in the shade of my backyard. It's just so hot.

The other day, I had the chance to meet up with some Japanese friends who live in Gardena and Torrance, and

I was surprised to hear everyone talking about the temperature in “Celsius.”

Until then, I had believed that Japanese people here in the U.S. also talked about temperatures in “Fahrenheit.”

The reason for this is that for over 50 years, I’ve been following local events through the news on the major TV networks (CBS, NBC, ABC ）), so I’ve been getting my weather forecasts from those same channels.

This brings back memories, too.

It was back when I hadn’t even been here for many years yet

When I translate the lyrics, I start to feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia for my hometown

Though it’s not quite the kind of hometown described in this poem...

The term “Bayou” in #1106 refers to the following location:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4% E3%83%A6%E3%83%BC_(%E5%9C%B0%E5%BD%A2)

It also sounds like a song in which someone who has moved to the city longs for their hometown.

I was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo. I was born about a year before the （ End of the War ） Commemoration Day.

Back when I was a child, the eastern side was a residential area, but toward the city center, fields and farmland stretched as far as the eye could see.

So, on sunny evenings, I used to see a small silhouette of Mount Fuji in the direction of true west.

When I hear this song, it somehow reminds me of my hometown—back when I used to catch medaka and crayfish in the irrigation ditches among the fields and farmland.

Lately, here in the San Fernando Valley where I live,

we’ve been having a string of days where the temperature is approaching 100°F (38°C). It’s extremely hot.

As a result, if I go for a walk around the neighborhood for about an hour, I end up completely drenched.

I wonder what it’s like in the Gardena/Torrance area, where many Japanese people live.

Since it’s an area where sea breezes blow in, the temperature is probably about 10 ～ to 20°F lower.

Unlike the days when the only hybrid was the Prius, today
there are a variety of hybrid cars on the market, so
you don't have to choose a Prius to choose another hybrid car.

But Porsche is different. Hybrid is the lowest and maintenance cost is absurdly high

Other German luxury cars also have high maintenance cost
Wealthy people may flirt with Benz, Porsche, etc. for a while, but eventually they settle down with Lexus when they get old.
People who have enough money and don't mind the price end up with Lexus ～ It is best to change luxury cars in 3 years

Korean cars look cheap but they are copies and you can't find the soul of technology like Japanese cars
Sometimes people are fooled by the price and the glance, but I think I am not the only one. Sometimes there are people who are fooled by the price, but they are often people with low IQ.

正規Toyota Dealerでプリウス購入しました。
定期検査とオイルチェンジの際、実際にプリウス所有のメカの方は、プリウスは日本製だから購入したそうです。
一時期リコールのパーツがないため、新品は販売していなかったときもあり、カムリハイブリッドを勧められましたが、前方スポイラーにセンサーがなく(オプション購入)、やはりプリウスにしました。満タンで約450マイル走破は財布に優しいですね。

My mother has dementia. It’s quite severe, and she can’t remember anything for even a minute.
I’m posting this in the hope that anyone with experience living with a mother who has dementia might be able to offer advice or insights. Thank you in advance.

After my friend retired, his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the early stages, there weren’t many problems, but as the disease progressed, she began wandering around the neighborhood and was taken in by the police several times, so we installed an interior lock on the door to prevent her from going out alone.

Eventually, she lost control of her bladder and bowels, so he had to put her in diapers and, when she soiled herself, carry her to the bathtub to wash her. It looked so difficult that I suggested he place her in a care facility, but but no matter how advanced his dementia was, there were times when he would return to his normal self. He feared we had abandoned him during those moments, and if we placed him in a facility, he would likely pass away within a few months to a year. So he refused to listen, insisting he wanted to care for him himself and see him off.
After that, he had a nursing bed installed at home through his insurance provider, Kaiser, and would go over to help whenever he needed assistance.

I’d sent four children to college, so I had no financial leeway and was constantly working.
Since I’d left everything related to the children and the household to my wife, and hadn’t really repaid her for all she’d done, I told her I’d do everything I could to care for her. A few years later, my wife passed away.
Watching her, it seemed less like she was truly alive and more like she was simply being kept alive; when she passed away, he said he had no regrets because he’d done everything he could, but I felt that I could never do the same.

Sunshine,

That friend of yours is a wonderful person. I wonder if I could do something like that...

In our household, it’s the other way around—I’m starting to lose my mind, and sometimes I end up being a burden to my wife.

I “forget” things every now and then, and my wife—who’s a feisty one—gives me a real earful, but

since there’s nothing I can do about it, she puts up with it. She’s a great wife.

友人の奥様が認知症になった時はまだ良い薬がありませんでしたが、今は薬もあるので病院で検査すれば、良い薬を処方して貰えるので進行を大分遅らせる事が出来るはずです。

日本だと高額医療補助があるので金銭的に助かりますが、アメリカの保険がどの程度カバーしてもらえるのか分かりません。
製薬会社の中には、利益をほとんど開発費に投じて作った薬もあるので、高額な物もあります。

友人の息子さん二人が医者で、家族の支えで金銭的には余裕がありました。
アメリカの自己破産の一番の原因は医療費なので、どうにもならない時は自分は日本国籍なので帰国する事も考えています。

この、ターゲットにロックオンしてコントロールしていく過程になってから、全く話が通じなく、こちらの言っている事に全く耳を傾けてくれなくなるのって、ダークトライアドの人たち独特の特徴だ。
人が、やめて！と言っているのが伝わらない。普段はいい人の振りをしているけれど、一度ターゲットを定めると、タゲられた側が幾ら、やめてよ！近付かないで！と言っても全く通じない。
普通、もう距離を置きたいと思ったら、離れたり連絡しなくなったりするものだけれど
こういう人たちって共感力というものがなくて、こちらが幾ら嫌がっても、男女関係なくストーカーみたいに執着して放してくれない、離れてくれない。

また今、
あなたは公衆の面前でブッ飛んだ。何て恥知らずなの？とかってテキストしてきた。

本当に、本当に気持ち悪い。最悪なのは周りが彼女に同情して、私が彼女を虐めていると思っている事。

生徒さんの事が心配。ただただ善意の人で、次のレッスンにはレストランに行く事を提案してくれたり( 食事中も授業料が発生するという事。) 私がレッスンと食事は別と言ったら、彼女は後から酷く怒った。普通の感覚だったら、レストランでご馳走してもらってその上授業料も払わせるだなんてあり得ない。
彼持ちでイベントとかに連れて行ってくれようとして、彼の友人と私たち二人の分のチケットも取ってくれると言っていた。彼女はとても甘え上手、お願い上手。

昔VOGAという雑誌がLAで発行されていた。その配達員が、毎回大量の雑誌を箱ごと何箱も廃棄していた。雑誌を作っていた人たちは全てを注ぐほど一所懸命だったはず。毎回そんな大量に廃棄されていただなんて想像だにしなかっただろう。
私が拾って、何軒かの日系マーケットの前に置けばよかったのだろうけど、毎回大きなダンプスターの中に捨てられていて拾えなかった。VOGAに連絡して言うのも告げ口みたいになってしまうと思って出来なかった。
早くに廃刊になってしまって、あの時何とか出来なかったんだろうかと今でも苦しく思い出してしまう。人が必死に頑張って築いた物を平気で台無しに出来る人たちがいる。

しつこい程に様々なサイトから通常の半額くらいのビジネスクラスの航空券の販売を見ます。ある一つのサイトを利用している方がいて、その方曰くまだ詐欺などの被害には遭っていないとのこと。しかしながら、どのような経路でそれらの高額なビジネスクラスの航空券が販売できるのかがわからず、まだ信用できません。高齢になり、最近は二度の旅行も一度に減らしてでも、５時間以上のフライトはビジネスクラスを利用したいです。何故あのような料金でビジネスクラスが販売出来るのか、業界の方がいましたらお知らせください。

マイルを買い取る業者があり、その業者が買い取ったマイルを使ってビジネスクラスを安く利用したい人のビジネスクラス特典航空券を取得、通常のビジネスクラスより安く販売しているものがほとんどです。
航空会社がそれを発見した場合、その航空券は取り消されます。
