RCBz is always aware of what is happening in Japan, I don't know how many people know that there is an ongoing sumo scandal. I am not breaking any news when I say that sumo is an institution in this island. It has already had its fair share of scandals, but this one, with sumo fighters publicly admitting to fixing matches, has left the country profoundly shocked and embarrassed.

And if I hadn't had to send something out requiring a security envelope today, I probably wouldn't have noticed that mim used the inside of a security envelope as the background for this collage. S is for soldiers and security of a nation perhaps,…

Always a great joy to see my friendly werewolf, and this time it arrived at my door! Good thing, too, as it is ugly rain and cold in Greece (this has been the weather since Feb. 12 and it is getting boooorrrrriiing!). So it was just the right size for the mailgal to deliver it and I did not have to go to the postoffice to claim it. Thank you Herr Ernie!
