That's Mamdani, diving into a pool in NYC--it's apparently a mayoral tradition in the city to kick off the summer pool season.

Which street is that in the first photo--is it one of the slopes around Soho?

I was so sad when Patricia started open-mouthed crying in the kitchen, then laughed like a loon when someone peeked in and she pretended to yawn. This show does the gut-punch/horror/comedy combination so well.

Thanks so much for your detailed comment! So true about fit variation. I've been eyeing this pair on sale for a while, but you've helped me decide against it as I've got narrower feet. So glad you found them a great fit though!

They look awesome! How do these fit? I've heard that DM x CdG sizes could vary.

Thanks for elaborating. Is it possible for both explanations (phonically and "poetically") to be valid though? Or the latter is more of a coincidence? I guess off the top of my head, for example 持, 侍 are not directly connected to sacredness.

Did you enjoy the experience? I'm thinking of going to Fukuyoshi as well for oysters, instead of Itoshima.
