Some funny comments about the fact that the boy’s dad is also an iPhone programmer.

Nope, he’s working with his family and linking his skills and hard-work with the love, support, and good-natured competition that only close ties can provide. *single tear*

Still, I would not trade memories of my dystopian upbringing for nothing. Well, maybe not nothing. I would consider swapping my disfunctional family memories for one of those Costco 24-packs of Twinkies. Yeah, that I would do. And maybe a tub of cashews.

Onomichi?

Something about this photo appeals to me. It could be the golden hour light. Or the typically Japanese low-contrast, desaturated film look. Maybe I’m just wondering what it’d be like to live in a town where things and places bear the proud look of having once been new, without knowing that they no longer are. I mean look at that boat. That bicycle. Even the rust is beautiful. Life must be so much simpler and quieter.
