Hello! from Rick Cogley

A and I are heading to Osaka to visit the Expo. Of course a typhoon was coming up as we were heading down so there was a delay but we are moving now. Oh and there’s a pet bird chirping away. 🚄🐤

We have the J-ALERT disaster warning system here in Japan which pushes mobile alerts regarding quakes, floods etc. It makes a big racket when a train car of phones get an alert! 💥

Visited Osaka Expo 2025 on 6 Sept with 220,000 others. It was hot and crowded but ultimately a good time thanks to A’s planning and a little luck.
