This week’s creation is called a Saticon, and it’s a small camera invented in Japan. Japan’s technological skills in the old days were amazing!

I love haunted houses. I think the one at Hanayashiki is scarier than Senritsu Meikyu at Fuji-Q Highland.

My family dog has been called up to heaven. It was so sudden. I wanted to change my mood, so I grabbed some scissors I had around and cut my hair.
