Earthquake Diary 89

 Xebio, this store sells athletics supplies and outdoor goods. Previously I showed a picture of all of the debris that they had taken out of the inside of the building. When I walked by this time, there was a work crew starting to repair a whole in the siding on the second floor.

 In an earlier blog I shwed the remains of a lunch that someone had dropped at the side of the road. Here is the remains of a Macdonald's meal that was just scattered around a park near my condo. Japan would be a much nicer place if people would take their trash home with them. There used to be many trash baskets but after the terrorist scares, starting with the sarin gas attack and continuing through Al Qaeda, the government removed them because Ohm was planning to use them as bomb sites.

 This is a little shrine at the back on the small Shinto shrine nearest my home. As you can see the roof has fallen off.

 Almost every utility pole swayed enough that fairly large holes opened around them and cracks in the pavement radiated out to surrounding weak spots.

This is the railing connecting the entrance building to the entrance hall in my building. You can see how much the entrance building has moved toward mine.
