After a rough start to their 2015 season (losing 3 of their first 6 games), the Ducks finished strong with 6 straight wins, including victories over Arizona State, USC, and Stanford. A win against TCU in the Alamo Bowl could actually see them crack the Top 10 for the first time since week 2.
My Duck comes home for winter break today. We will be in Mexico in less than a week.
金閣寺の観光客 (Kyoto, Japan)
Miyajima priest
The key to maintaining a business for a long time, especially this one which has been going on for hundreds of years, is to extract cash for services rendered. I’m not sure how much this lady had to pay for individual treatment from the priest. However, it’s well documented that Katsu Kaishu (勝海舟), in trying to give his famous peace sword to Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社), was denied the privilege. Instead, he had to pay them to take it. I wonder if they still have it, or if they sold it to someone else.
お好み焼き
Sadly, I’ve never acquired a taste for okonomiyaki; that includes the real Hiroshima (本格広島) variety. Today’s photo was taken at a summer fireworks festival two years ago this month in Inuyama.

Wrong season for today’s photo as Setsubun is in February, but it was my random, desktop image of the day.
