Typhoon Chaba Wreaks No Damage, and Leaves Behind Lifegiving Water

Komono, Japan, October 30, 2010

Typhoon Chaba passed east of Komono, Japan, leaving no damage in its wake, and leaving much-needed moisture in the Komono area.

When asked how he felt about the storm, Komono resident and father of three wonderful children Dan Kirk said, "Great! We got some rain out of it. The news services damaged their reputation as reliable sources of information again by exaggerating the threat in order to drum up viewership. Would you like a cookie?"

In general local residents were happy that darn near everything planned was called off and they could stay home and relax.

Outbreaks of Pleasantries in Japan: Convenience Store Clerk Adjusts Legal Alien's Collar

(I'm so sick of corporate media bad news that I can't relate to at all. I'm going to print some good news.) 

Komono, Japan

At 08:14 on Thursday, October 28, a clerk at a convenience store (Ministop) in Komono, Japan, reached across the counter and asked the customer, Daniel T. Kirk, legal alien, if she could adjust his collar. 

The clerk adjusted his collar, and Kirk thanked the clerk in flawless Japanese.

"I thought that was really nice," said Kirk. "I was on my way to make a presentation in Kuwana, and wanted to look nice. She was really helpful. I'll go back to... that store again, maybe with some cookies for the clerk."
