	4:14pm Mike Rogers: なつはもいいです！！！笑！
	4:16pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:14 Hey Aitch san! Thanks for popping in. In Japan it's going to be hot & shitty and raining everyday for a week. How about where you are?
	4:18pm mochy: 今月は高円寺のshow boatでsleezsisters.5okuyen のライブあります。予約しました。
	4:18pm Mike Rogers: いいな！！！！
	4:19pm mochy: フジヤマというお店の前です。おまわりさんきたらおわりらしいです。
	4:20pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:16 Coldest part of year, sin just about to come up, will be 18C max, a bit rainy.
	4:22pm Aitch: Weird vibe here, daughter about to go to france to study for a year. Meeting her in Japan on her way back next June, hope not too hot then.
	4:22pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @4:20 Nice.
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:20 18 is kind cold, but I'll take it over this heat & humidity.
	4:23pm chresti: Hi red Mike radio show!
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:22 Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow. June is OK in Japan, a bit rainy, but not viciously hot!
	4:24pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @4:23 Hi Cresti san! Thanks for stopping by!!!!
	4:24pm Mike Rogers: My son will go back to Canada in 14 days. I already miss him.
	4:27pm Mike Rogers: I'm going to take my son trout fishing (I think) on Thursday... This is the 3rd time, the first two times was cancelled due to heavy rains....
	4:27pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:23 Cool better than humid, hate humid. I've been looking at various Tokyo ryokans, found some great looking ones, but I don't know if they're in good places. Need to be able to get to Shibuya/Harajuku easily so the kids can check the fashion. I'll miss her so much, but what a great opportunity.
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: It's a beautiful place only an hours drive from Tokyo! In Atsugi!
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:27 Hey, you are a positive guy! That's great. How long will you be here in Japan?
	4:29pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:27 I can't stand the humidity!!!!
	4:30pm Aitch: I sailed with my dad as a kid, we'd stay overnight on the boat sometimes, catch a few fish and mostly throw them back. Nothing yummier than a fresh crab sandwich you caught with your dad.
	4:31pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:30 Wow! What a great memory! Next time don't forget to make a sandwich for me!!!!
	4:32pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:28 8 nights I think Mike. Just Tokyo, we don't want to travel, just dive into the city. Stayed a week in Shinjuku before, so have a bit of an idea, but Tokyo so crazy big
	4:32pm Mike Rogers: I often went boating and camping with my dad, but only in the Great Lakes area... No crabs there!
	4:34pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:32 Squid is good and they were easy to catch, about a foot long. Heaps of fish this part of the world.
	4:36pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. You're recalling my dreams every night.
	4:37pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @4:34 Hey Aitch san, If you want, I can ask Ken Nishikawa. He has an extra room that he sometimes let's friends stay in (he is the nicest guy in the world!) I don't know if he is OK with 8 days, but I bet he knows AIR & BnBs!
	4:38pm Mike Rogers: He lives in Harajuku!
	4:38pm elmoweber: Hey Mike san
	4:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Timber" by "Coldcut & Hexstatic" tretastic...
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ elmoweber @4:38 Hey Elmo! You mind reading or something? Your up next!
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:38 Hi Northguineahills san! Welcome!!!!
	4:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @4:32 I got stuck for 3.5 years in kanagawa-ken...
	4:40pm elmoweber: Awesome!
	4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:39 hola hola!
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:39 Where in Kanagawa? I lived there too but in Hiyoshi.
	4:43pm northguineahills: Ayase-shi (i was 10-13 years old)
	4:44pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:38 3 of us Mike, both daughters. That can be a scary prospect! Last time I was on a package with the airline and ended up in the hotel they filmed Lost in Translation in, but I saw the movie after. Shinjuku, normal city one side of the tracks, absolutely bonkers on the other.
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 Ayase shi!? How dd you get there? You must have been the only foreigners around!
	4:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ground Funk" by "Elmo Weber" Soipoibly excellent!
	4:45pm elmoweber: ↳ northguineahills @4:44 Thanks!
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:44 NAF Atsugi is nestled b/tn there and Yamato. There were 5K USN & JDF members stationed there..
	4:47pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 (numbers has fluxuated since the pandemic). I went to junior high in Zama...
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 Did you know there is a river near Atsugi that is amazing and you can catch trout there!!! No kidding.... I was just talking about that place. It's like a dream world.
	4:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 My wife is from Isehara! That's next door!
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: I think I'm going to Atsugi Thursday to take my son fishing (if it doesn't rain like crazy!)
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:48 the sagami river? i tubed it to the sea w/ my boy scout troop (One of really fun but stupid ideas).
	4:53pm northguineahills: when i lived there, since there was no crime, my parents let me go out by myself, so as long as I got home before the trains stopped running. So, I spent a lot of time in Tokyo and Yokohama just exploring (and anywhere else w/in a half days train trip).
	4:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:52 It's a tributary to Sagami River. But it is nestles in the mountains.
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: It think it is called, "Yatatarou" but not sure.
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:55 Getting old. CanT remember shit!
	4:55pm northguineahills: i used to live above th4 mekujiri river..
	4:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:55 I don't know that river. Actually, I have never been inside of Atsugi!
	4:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:55 Is that river clean? Most rivers in Japan aren't so clean, but Yatatarous is super clean.
	4:58pm northguineahills: I can still find my old house on google maps (i'm also a geographer). We were about 5 km north of where the shinkansen crossed the mekujiri...
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:58 it wasn't when I was there, but our neighbors have said it's much cleaner now.
	5:01pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @4:58 I so love the new map stuff, being able to check out whole neighbourhoods, amazing. Like I just found the local Chinatown in the french city she's going to so she can get ingredients.
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:59 Yeah, in the 1970s, pollution was really bad.... I remember standing on a bridge by Tsurumi River and looking down and there was a car in the river. The locals kids would catch three headed fish. No kidding.
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:01 Is this Google Maps? (I live such a sheltered life!)
	5:04pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:02 That one, the new Apple one is good too.
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:04 There's an Apple Maps?????
	5:05pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @5:01 Which city?
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:01 I was there in 86-89. in the lead up to hosting Kyoto conference that led to the Kyoto protocols, japan launched some of the most severe anti-pollution laws in the industrialized world in '91-92....
	5:05pm Aitch: A couple of the DJs have moved to Philadelphia, so I've been looking around there a bit, checking out the buildings
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:04 apple used to be a joke. when revamping it, i was on the shortlist for a position there in 2014, but after 3 rounds, they were told to only hire in-house...
	5:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:05 Ah? Is that why? Near where I was staying some company was just dumping suds into to rive, and I don't mean a few suds, I mean a tidal wave!
	5:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:06 yeah, that was the sagami river when I was there...
	5:09pm Aitch: ↳ chresti @5:05 She wouldn't want me to say, but not Paris, so not much Chinatowny stuff going on, despite them having Vietnam, Cambodia etc as colonies. The French are totally racist.
	5:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:07 It was like an environmental disaster near all the rivers! I wondered why the people lived close to rives and especially why they'd let their kids play closely!
	5:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:09 Really?
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:07 Wasn't it disappointing to you to see that pollution? It was to me. I was shocked.
	5:11pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:09 There was that Minimata disease, where the whole town had mercury poisoning. Nasty.
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:11 Oh, don't even get me started on Minamata!
	5:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:11 yeah, i never went to the beach while there b/c of that. But all of my Japanese friends said it cleaned up immensely in the 90s... I have a friend that is usually touring or in NYC. he always said I could use his Tokyo apt if I ever made there (I've been stuck N. America/Caribbean and Europe since adulting...
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:15 Yeah, I think the beach is depressing too. I can't believe people will bring McDonalds and eat it on the beach and then leave the wrappers there.
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:11 You see there is no such thing as "Damages" in Japanese court. Long story short, it is because of the sex slaves. Anyway, in Japan you can only sue someone for hospital costs, and loss of income from not working. So the poor families who had deformed kids got..... $50,000 ... No shit. And that was after 40+ years.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: I was appalled. I was here when that verdict was reached. I'm serious that verdict took like 40 years!!!!
	5:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:18 these days, there rarely any litter in Japan (of course, this is coming from an american).
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, it is getting much much better, even at the beaches.... Educating people take a long time.
	5:28pm northguineahills: one of the most disturbing memories, was seeing a woman that got hit by a car. She was in the middle of the street and had some gift-wrapped packages and some little kids clothes in a bag that broke open. She was bleeding and traffic was just driving around her. My father, being the base physician, had a brick phone, and called the base ambulance, as it was about 2km away. B/c Japan doesn't have a good-samaritan law, anyone who helps someone injured, can be liable for any injuries. My father knew b/c of the US Armed Forces agreement in Japan, that he would not be held liable for performing life-saving services...
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:28 God bless you and you mom & dad. This story just makes me shake my head.... I think they changed the laws 20 years ago or so.... But I have heard how it used to be.
	5:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:30 I was eleven when it happened, and had only been there 9 months.. luckily, it was the same time I started to make Japanese friends....(photographic memories are a blessing/curse)
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:30 I know that China is now struggling with this issue. I hoe they fix it.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:32 Wow! But seeing that, how can you ever forget????
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: I just sometimes, want a ticket outta this place
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: I think I should start smoking and drinking heavily!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: My friends aunt was 86. She had never smoked or drank in her life. At her 86th birthday, she announced to everyone that she was going to start drinking and smoking (no kidding). She had abstained all these years because she wanted to protect her health for her family.... But she did start drinking and smoking. She lived to be 96 and died in her sleep... No kidding.
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: I don't know if I wanna live to be 96!!!!
	5:41pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:39 Go auntie! Done my fair share of drinking, none this year and plan on keeping it like that.
	5:41pm chresti: Too many people
	5:41pm mochy: いまを楽しむのがいちばんいいと思います！
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: Still abstaining Aitch san? Well done!
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:41 Where do you live, Chresti san?
	5:43pm Aitch: 96 a stretch at the rate they're cutting bits off me. There won't be any of me left.
	5:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @5:41 I did 15 months w/o drinking...
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:41 Mochy san! この音好きになりましたか？
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:43 I'm almost 2 years.... Just....a.... bit....more...
	5:44pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:43 In the LA basin-San Gabriel, CA
	5:45pm mochy: いいと思いますよ。
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Ha! Come to HongKong at Chinese new years if you want to see an ocean of people that is truly frightening!
	5:45pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @5:43 I lost a stack of weight, can see ribs again.
	5:46pm chresti: I imagine I'll just be a shell when and if I live to 96
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, and easy to lose weight when you don't drink, eh?
	5:47pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:45 Hong Kong on maids day pretty funny. I think it's 1 sunday a month all the maids get a day off, streets are packed and they're not very roomy to start with.
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:46 I don't even want to think about that.... Living in this hell hole for another 30+ years? NO!
	5:48pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:39 I hope she enjoyed it!
	5:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:47 Maids Day???? Never heard of it!
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: I wonder if that would wrk in Japan? Probably not, because the maids here aren't really maids... They are Cosplay!
	5:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:48 She was actually very happy I am told.
	5:51pm chresti: I stopped drinking about 30 years ago because I stopped enjoying it. I switched to herbal inebriants
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:50 I mean she was over 87 or so so no one expected her to do anything.... If it were me, I'd be getting drunk all the time too!
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:51 That is MUCH more preferrable I think.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: But the Japanese cops don't think so!
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Distant Suns" by "Chris Ianuzzi" oy, it's almost 6, thanks Mike. will stumble o'er here again! salud!
	5:53pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:49 Can you imagine hiring a maid and finding out she doesn't actually clean?
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @5:51 i stopped drinking cheap crap. the price also helps keep it moderation...(and there's a non-zero chance i could be tested for imbibing herb...
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 Thanks NorthGuineaHills san!
	5:54pm chresti: Byeee! Thank you!
	5:54pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, see you all around the place
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:53 I'm not dead yet because I have always done quality.
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:54 Thanks Aitch san! Do you want me to ask Ken Nishikawa?
	5:55pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @5:53 best thing to do is to have food with it!
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:54 Christi san! Thanks for coming!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mochy san!
	5:56pm mochy: マイクさん、リスナーの皆様ありがとうございました Thank you to all the listeners, mike-san.た
	5:56pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @5:55 my hiragana reading is soooo slow.......(but it still works)
	5:57pm mochy: た←消し忘れです。
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: Thanks to everyone! See you tomorrow for Sounds From Space at 11pm EST.
	5:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:56 Way cool. I'l bet that blows your coworkers minds when some Japanese just shows up and you start conversing with them in Japanese!!!
	5:58pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:55 I'll contact you off chat.

	4:40pm elmoweber: Awesome!
	4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:39 hola hola!
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:39 Where in Kanagawa? I lived there too but in Hiyoshi.
	4:43pm northguineahills: Ayase-shi (i was 10-13 years old)
	4:44pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:38 3 of us Mike, both daughters. That can be a scary prospect! Last time I was on a package with the airline and ended up in the hotel they filmed Lost in Translation in, but I saw the movie after. Shinjuku, normal city one side of the tracks, absolutely bonkers on the other.
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 Ayase shi!? How dd you get there? You must have been the only foreigners around!
	4:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ground Funk" by "Elmo Weber" Soipoibly excellent!
	4:45pm elmoweber: ↳ northguineahills @4:44 Thanks!
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:44 NAF Atsugi is nestled b/tn there and Yamato. There were 5K USN & JDF members stationed there..
	4:47pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 (numbers has fluxuated since the pandemic). I went to junior high in Zama...
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 Did you know there is a river near Atsugi that is amazing and you can catch trout there!!! No kidding.... I was just talking about that place. It's like a dream world.
	4:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:46 My wife is from Isehara! That's next door!
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: I think I'm going to Atsugi Thursday to take my son fishing (if it doesn't rain like crazy!)
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:48 the sagami river? i tubed it to the sea w/ my boy scout troop (One of really fun but stupid ideas).
	4:53pm northguineahills: when i lived there, since there was no crime, my parents let me go out by myself, so as long as I got home before the trains stopped running. So, I spent a lot of time in Tokyo and Yokohama just exploring (and anywhere else w/in a half days train trip).
	4:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:52 It's a tributary to Sagami River. But it is nestles in the mountains.
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: It think it is called, "Yatatarou" but not sure.
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:55 Getting old. CanT remember shit!
	4:55pm northguineahills: i used to live above th4 mekujiri river..
	4:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:55 I don't know that river. Actually, I have never been inside of Atsugi!
	4:58pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:55 Is that river clean? Most rivers in Japan aren't so clean, but Yatatarous is super clean.
	4:58pm northguineahills: I can still find my old house on google maps (i'm also a geographer). We were about 5 km north of where the shinkansen crossed the mekujiri...
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:58 it wasn't when I was there, but our neighbors have said it's much cleaner now.
	5:01pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @4:58 I so love the new map stuff, being able to check out whole neighbourhoods, amazing. Like I just found the local Chinatown in the french city she's going to so she can get ingredients.
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @4:59 Yeah, in the 1970s, pollution was really bad.... I remember standing on a bridge by Tsurumi River and looking down and there was a car in the river. The locals kids would catch three headed fish. No kidding.
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:01 Is this Google Maps? (I live such a sheltered life!)
	5:04pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:02 That one, the new Apple one is good too.
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:04 There's an Apple Maps?????
	5:05pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @5:01 Which city?
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:01 I was there in 86-89. in the lead up to hosting Kyoto conference that led to the Kyoto protocols, japan launched some of the most severe anti-pollution laws in the industrialized world in '91-92....
	5:05pm Aitch: A couple of the DJs have moved to Philadelphia, so I've been looking around there a bit, checking out the buildings
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:04 apple used to be a joke. when revamping it, i was on the shortlist for a position there in 2014, but after 3 rounds, they were told to only hire in-house...
	5:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:05 Ah? Is that why? Near where I was staying some company was just dumping suds into to rive, and I don't mean a few suds, I mean a tidal wave!
	5:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:06 yeah, that was the sagami river when I was there...
	5:09pm Aitch: ↳ chresti @5:05 She wouldn't want me to say, but not Paris, so not much Chinatowny stuff going on, despite them having Vietnam, Cambodia etc as colonies. The French are totally racist.
	5:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:07 It was like an environmental disaster near all the rivers! I wondered why the people lived close to rives and especially why they'd let their kids play closely!
	5:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:09 Really?
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:07 Wasn't it disappointing to you to see that pollution? It was to me. I was shocked.
	5:11pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:09 There was that Minimata disease, where the whole town had mercury poisoning. Nasty.
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:11 Oh, don't even get me started on Minamata!
	5:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:11 yeah, i never went to the beach while there b/c of that. But all of my Japanese friends said it cleaned up immensely in the 90s... I have a friend that is usually touring or in NYC. he always said I could use his Tokyo apt if I ever made there (I've been stuck N. America/Caribbean and Europe since adulting...
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:15 Yeah, I think the beach is depressing too. I can't believe people will bring McDonalds and eat it on the beach and then leave the wrappers there.
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:11 You see there is no such thing as "Damages" in Japanese court. Long story short, it is because of the sex slaves. Anyway, in Japan you can only sue someone for hospital costs, and loss of income from not working. So the poor families who had deformed kids got..... $50,000 ... No shit. And that was after 40+ years.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: I was appalled. I was here when that verdict was reached. I'm serious that verdict took like 40 years!!!!
	5:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:18 these days, there rarely any litter in Japan (of course, this is coming from an american).
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, it is getting much much better, even at the beaches.... Educating people take a long time.
	5:28pm northguineahills: one of the most disturbing memories, was seeing a woman that got hit by a car. She was in the middle of the street and had some gift-wrapped packages and some little kids clothes in a bag that broke open. She was bleeding and traffic was just driving around her. My father, being the base physician, had a brick phone, and called the base ambulance, as it was about 2km away. B/c Japan doesn't have a good-samaritan law, anyone who helps someone injured, can be liable for any injuries. My father knew b/c of the US Armed Forces agreement in Japan, that he would not be held liable for performing life-saving services...
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:28 God bless you and you mom & dad. This story just makes me shake my head.... I think they changed the laws 20 years ago or so.... But I have heard how it used to be.
	5:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:30 I was eleven when it happened, and had only been there 9 months.. luckily, it was the same time I started to make Japanese friends....(photographic memories are a blessing/curse)
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:30 I know that China is now struggling with this issue. I hoe they fix it.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:32 Wow! But seeing that, how can you ever forget????
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: I just sometimes, want a ticket outta this place
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: I think I should start smoking and drinking heavily!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: My friends aunt was 86. She had never smoked or drank in her life. At her 86th birthday, she announced to everyone that she was going to start drinking and smoking (no kidding). She had abstained all these years because she wanted to protect her health for her family.... But she did start drinking and smoking. She lived to be 96 and died in her sleep... No kidding.
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: I don't know if I wanna live to be 96!!!!
	5:41pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:39 Go auntie! Done my fair share of drinking, none this year and plan on keeping it like that.
	5:41pm chresti: Too many people
	5:41pm mochy: いまを楽しむのがいちばんいいと思います！
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: Still abstaining Aitch san? Well done!
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:41 Where do you live, Chresti san?
	5:43pm Aitch: 96 a stretch at the rate they're cutting bits off me. There won't be any of me left.
	5:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @5:41 I did 15 months w/o drinking...
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @5:41 Mochy san! この音好きになりましたか？
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:43 I'm almost 2 years.... Just....a.... bit....more...
	5:44pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:43 In the LA basin-San Gabriel, CA
	5:45pm mochy: いいと思いますよ。
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Ha! Come to HongKong at Chinese new years if you want to see an ocean of people that is truly frightening!
	5:45pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @5:43 I lost a stack of weight, can see ribs again.
	5:46pm chresti: I imagine I'll just be a shell when and if I live to 96
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, and easy to lose weight when you don't drink, eh?
	5:47pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:45 Hong Kong on maids day pretty funny. I think it's 1 sunday a month all the maids get a day off, streets are packed and they're not very roomy to start with.
	5:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:46 I don't even want to think about that.... Living in this hell hole for another 30+ years? NO!
	5:48pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:39 I hope she enjoyed it!
	5:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:47 Maids Day???? Never heard of it!
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: I wonder if that would wrk in Japan? Probably not, because the maids here aren't really maids... They are Cosplay!
	5:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:48 She was actually very happy I am told.
	5:51pm chresti: I stopped drinking about 30 years ago because I stopped enjoying it. I switched to herbal inebriants
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:50 I mean she was over 87 or so so no one expected her to do anything.... If it were me, I'd be getting drunk all the time too!
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:51 That is MUCH more preferrable I think.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: But the Japanese cops don't think so!
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Distant Suns" by "Chris Ianuzzi" oy, it's almost 6, thanks Mike. will stumble o'er here again! salud!
	5:53pm chresti: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:49 Can you imagine hiring a maid and finding out she doesn't actually clean?
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @5:51 i stopped drinking cheap crap. the price also helps keep it moderation...(and there's a non-zero chance i could be tested for imbibing herb...
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 Thanks NorthGuineaHills san!
	5:54pm chresti: Byeee! Thank you!
	5:54pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, see you all around the place
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ northguineahills @5:53 I'm not dead yet because I have always done quality.
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @5:54 Thanks Aitch san! Do you want me to ask Ken Nishikawa?
	5:55pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @5:53 best thing to do is to have food with it!
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ chresti @5:54 Christi san! Thanks for coming!
