  1. This is why I don’t go for big banks anymore – they’re all jerks!

    Loving Radio Paradise, thanks for the link!

    1. In re the robot: This is one of those modern, Internet news articles, which announces that something is GOING to happen, Real Soon Now. So I’m guessing the ‘robot’ is running on a mainframe in Nishogakusha University. According to this article the ‘android’ will be unveiled in time for Soseki’s ‘death-date’ on Dec. 9. Hold your breath!
