Signing off

This is it. Today they cut off the Internet, then the water, gas and last, power.

We will be staying with a friend for four days (Next week is a holiday here in Japan, so, of course, they can't clear us from our apartment during it... since we fly out on the last day of the holiday, it was either clear the apartment BEFORE the holiday or change our flight...). Either way, though; I'll be out of contact until I return to the land of the Stars and Stripes.

Expect reaquisition of signal on Thursday night or Friday morning. For some of you that might be earlier (I will have to post from Dad's computer until I get the computers at my house dusted off; set up and internet connected...).

I'll post a retrospective on Japan when I get back... boy do I have a lot to write about...

Until then; Moriya base here; signing off.
