 Rocket
Launch
December 2016 - We began this month with another
rocket launch, this time at night. The rocket took off and lit up the sky like
it was daytime.

 AAAAHHHH
December 8, 2016 - Shai has had his top two front
teeth loose for quite some time now, until today. He made out really good with
the tooth fairy. 1000 paper money yen, a couple of American dollars, and a bunch
of metal Japanese money.

Facebook Group Post - Yup pretty awful for sure. Simply look at the team
he is putting together. We are now residing on a small island in Japan and were
thinking about returning home until this guy won the election. Really need to
think now. |

 Rocket
Launch
December 9, 2016 - We watched another rocket
launch today at our favorite park. This was actually the first time for little
Lael to see a night launch. This turned out to be spectacular. When the fuel
ignited, the sky lit up like it was daytime. This rocket was transporting
supplies to the space station.

 Fish
Festival
December 17, 2016 - Today was the annual
Minamitane Town Fish Festival. Temperatures were not really warm but the sun was
out and it made the day tolerable.
Picture - Us hanging
out together at the fish festival.
The town turned, what could be a 2-3 hour event, into a five hour, basically
meeting of the town folks....to be expected on such a small island. Anyway,
there was good food, nice performances, lots of friendly people, and of course,
the fish catching contest for the kids.

Facebook Group Post - HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY
This upcoming year all of us really need to pull together. Now I am leading a
call to BOYCOTT THE TRUMP INAUGURATION on January 20, 2017. I made a page
outlining the specifics. Please read this page and send it to all of your
friends and family who do not support Trump.
http://englishglobalgroup.com/politics-call-for-a-national-strike-sick-out-ban-boycott-on-january-20-2017-of-the-presidential-inauguration-of-donald-trump.htm
Then again, why not also send this page to all of your friends and family who do
support Trump. Even turning a single Trump supporter is a huge success. PLEASE
DO NOT BECOME APATHETIC. Be strong and work together and we can keep Trump from
being effective, even at a minimum level, as president. If you would like to
discuss this situation, including the inauguration boycott, you are welcome to
send email as you desire. Thank you for reading this. |
