Pac-Man inspiration?

Calgary Skyline
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
A few people that knew I went to Calgary told me they found Calgary to be ugly. I asked them if they’d seen it from Crescent Road or the connected parks (McHugh Bluff and Rosedale Park). The answer was “no” which explains why they never saw this view. We randomly ended up on Crescent Road on a bike ride or we would have missed it too.
Barber Asada
Japan 1953 (likely Kokura 小倉市)
Today’s photo comes from my father’s slides from around 1953 Japan. Why post this today? Well, today is my dad’s birthday. If he were still alive, he’d be 95 years old today.
I converted these images from slides to digital about 12 years ago, shortly before he died. I showed them to him, but he couldn’t identify the people, places, or years anymore. Why did he take this photo? No idea–maybe that was his barber? Or the lumber was unusual? Or…?
Is it still baseball season?
Shohei Ohtani 大谷 翔平 @ the Oakland Coliseum (May 2022)
I pretty much lived at this place in the 1980s. Now it is gone. This was the last game I ever saw there.
This year I have paid zero attention to MLB. I couldn’t tell you who is in the playoffs or what round we are in. It’s kind of odd how something that was such a big part of your life can later become so dead to you.
