Welp, new favorite airplane. This is the Airbus A350-1000ULR that just made its first test flight from Toulouse to Melbourne in 19 hours 12 minutes.
Today may become the first time, of *all* time, that Japan sees 5 straight days of 40+°C temps. I am in Gifu, right in the middle of all this, and I just wanna die. Weather like this put me in the hospital in 1994.

I had forgotten that was its own DXCC, but it appears I've had Alaska confirmed for a while now.
I visited a local #Gifu soy sauce and miso brewer this afternoon. I've lived in this town for 3 decades and had no idea it existed. All hand made using traditional techniques, a practice rapidly becoming a lost art.
