Ban the dog, formally and affectionately known as Ban-Chan

From the world of weird and kind of cool.

We named our first dog Ban-Chan.    Chan is like a name suffix in Japanese, like San, i.e. Miyashiro-San.
Chan is the suffix for "cute things".    Hence, Ban-Chan.   We figured this was the only dog on the planet name Ban--we were wrong on that one.

Then on TV we saw last night that the "miracle dog" rescued from the Sargasso Ogre flotilla was re-united with it's owner, and her name is also Ban.    This is really weird, but cool.

  3. Most excellent, the world moves on in semi-predictable ways.
    You have your own blog, or participate on others?
    Pray for Japan, they need help. I posted some other article and spreadsheet on Hawaii radiation monitoring, so far no real worries.
