Walking the Grand Ring at Expo 2025 in Osaka

Walked the paths atop the beautiful 2-kilometer structure encircling Osaka’s Expo 2025. Up close, the amazing workmanship features traditional joints reminiscent of temple construction. The laminated wooden beams are beautifully finished and appear suitable for interior work. Its theme, “unity in diversity,” is something most would surely support.

A Safe Space

Kicked off Pride weekend festivities at a gathering in our building’s game room with LGBTQ+ and ally neighbors.

After an Americano, I needed to powder my nose. They’re inclusive at FRGMT Coffee; this is probably illegal in Florida.

Shopped at a place that has always welcomed people like me. 30 years ago LGBT people were refused entry to the USA.

A Welcoming Place

Cycled to Wedge Co-op for salmon, Minnesota asparagus, and focaccia. I like to spend our money in a welcoming place.
