Ashita Osaka ni kaerimasu

Today is my last day of satellite ops, as I return to Osaka on Thursday. A new operator arrived yesterday to take over the grunt beat from Ohno-san (and me), so now there are four of us doing two jobs (actually three of us doing one job). So I have not much to do in my extra-lame-duck status.

I like what I've seen (and tasted) of the rural south of Japan; watching the fishing boats come and go and hearing the odd insects at night is very soothing, although I suppose the typhoon bearing down on Kyushu might change that. Maybe I'll come back someday. But I guess it's time to go back to the big city and get something accomplished.
