I've lived in Fukushima since 2006. I have a website about Fukushima for kids. It's out of date now. I ran out of room & couldn't afford to level up. https://amylangekawamura.com šŸ˜Š she/her LGBTQ ally RAIDER MAYER WON'T GET PUSHED AROUND available now!

1. This is a book of sci-fi stories by Ted Chiang. The book is called ā€œStories of Your Life and Othersā€ My brother introduced me to the works of Ted Chiang. Isn't his writing fantastic?

1. Thank you to Uri Shulevitz for such wonderful books. This past year, I chose his "Snow" for my library volunteer reading. (And yes, we had a lot of snow this past winter!) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

1. Part of me is like "Another Fukushima" I love Fukushima. Another part of me is trying to understand the article. Allison Macfarlane replaced Jaczko after he left NRC as chair. She's an expert. Although I wish she would say "TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi." cont. with more thoughts.

1. This is a fantastic book. It's MG fiction. Stan (on left) and Elpidia (right) are kids who live in a town in the desert. Not much there. Elpidia dreams of getting a food truck, so she can leave. Stan is stuck, too, with a dad who is abusive.

Fukushima icicles We've had rough weather, but it seems to have passed. But now the earthquakes have started up again. It may be earthquake season.

1. Suzanne Kamata gave me this wonderful book by Sheila Athens. It's called "Neena Lee is Seeing Things." When this book begins, Neena Lee has just come out of a mental hospital. She went there because her brother had died, and she couldn't save him from his addiction.

1. ā€œUnbreakable: The Countess, the Nazis and the Worldā€™s Most Dangerous Horse Raceā€ by Richard Askwith. This non-fiction book is about a woman named Lata who competed in a horse race, back in the 1920's and thirties. The race was over jumps, through plowed fields--a dangerous race.
