In the small town of Kawara in Fukuoka Prefecture, something is happening at the Saidosho Community Center. While kids in most parts of Japan are obsessed with Pokémon cards, the children of Kawara are clutching to something a little closer to home.

They are playing a trading card game where the stars aren’t fantasy creatures, anime heroes or even famous baseball players, but ojisan (middle-aged or older men) from the local community.

It's not a bad Monday. It was a good Thanksgiving.

Now I'm going to show another bad thing I've been doing--I run around and play ingress and Pokemon Go (despite never having watched Pokemon--go figure). Met a new Pokemon Go friend yesterday who traded me for some missing Regionals (gotta catch them all!)--filling one Region for me, and nearly filling another. Happy player me.
