Well #HurricaneHelene blew through my part of Georgia leaving us intact but lots of flooding and power outages all over the place. Very glad we were spared the brunt of her fury and bless up those who caught the wrath of a cyclone scorned.

Welp, y’all wish me luck! ⛈️ 🌀

Had a blast connecting with the Japanese diaspora of residents and businesses here around Atlanta with my family and reconnecting with folks from the diaspora in the community.

my oldest brother is a newly minted resident of Georgia and registered to vote a few weeks ago. The political parties are fighting for his attention in his mailbox. This is life in a swing state right now.

Today feels like one of those days where I’m going to wish I could be paid in extra sleep instead of just money.

Really glad to see Shōgun win some Emmy hardware last night. I need to go back and rewatch it now. (And also complete it as I think I only got through 4 episodes)

Did the Sunday afternoon canvass here in Gwinnett Co. GA. I’m seeing a whole lot more of these than I thought I would for this area. Also great conversations with my neighbors. I’m glad I can do my part in educating and motivating my fellow Gwinnecians 🗳️

A campaign sign reading "Veterans for Harris 2024" is placed in a grassy area near trees in a suburban home's yard.
