    I loved the pacing of this episode. Mirrors how anjin is discovering the Japanese appreciate the metaphysical details of the mundane (sake pot in tea room). The way Kiku screens herself from anjin so that it seems like Mariko is talking and how the tension builds from there was so well done.

    I'm pretty disappointed we didn't offer him that.

    are you measuring that with tiny baby feet?

    it works fine just like anywhere else.

    favorite != best etc etc i was in awe of carter beauford in the 90s. he did things i flat out couldn't figure out. it wasn't til later i realized he was left-handed and that unraveled a small part of the mystery.

    were they doing construction on the bridge deck? looks like there were lots of flashing/blinking lights.

    Cromwell eventually sold off most everything except Hampton Court and its contents which is where he lived. After he died and his son died and Charles 2 was restored the transactions were deemed illegal but Charles 2 didn't want to just take the land away from the purchasers so he turned them into leaseholders where he received the funds in exchange for use of royal land (he had an interest in preserving the peace and consequently his head. Remember he was restored with the promise he'd not seek revenge on anyone other than a small group of 60ish who were responsible for his father's death). By the time he was restored a lot of the land and homes were either destroyed or changed (stripped for valuable metal or forests cleared for timber etc) so it really was the most practical way forward.

    does the timeline hold that - a.) she initially was getting a hysterectomy due to symptoms, which is why the original easter timeline for recovery was given b.) but in the process of recovery it was discovered she had ovarian cancer and thus had to get an oophorectomy which she is recovering from and also c.) recovering chemo for now?

    Looking back it seems like a couple major outlets were given the heads up about a major health issue in play which was why they handled her with kid gloves.

    no, it doesn't. the incentives to succeed are different. your life as a private company depends on your ability to succeed. the directors have skin in the game beyond their paycheck (if they're receiving a paycheck at all). as a public agency you're pretty much guaranteed a job- i worked in a public agency. my wife works in one now. we have BOTH been told to slow down our work pace because the results are outpacing the agency's expected output which would result in less funding next year. in my current private company (finance) we have 5% reviews every year- the bottom 5% are fired. it works the same way at microsoft, google, apple, etc. that doesn't happen at TCEQ or TRS.

    i guess you're talking to me. i can you tell you from firsthand experience that many more in the public sector, when compared to the private sector, don't care about their jobs past the fact that they have it and don't try at all. that was the question posed. you don't agree that there's an attitude of doing "just enough" in city hall? in our police departments? in our elected reps? take an inventory of your time spent on your keyboard- every other post of yours is you yelling at them.

    there's not really a way to mess up ageing pheasant. you literally just hang it from the neck. don't even clean it. i think it was just a bit of messy writing from clavell.

    Used to play in the league there and at 9pm it would still be hot enough to where you had to burrow under to avoid getting burned. It was nuts.
