First Officer Nakamura will be in charge on December 31 and January 1 as I take leave to visit family for the new year. I don't expect there to be any issues, but treat him as you would me. If you have any business to discuss while I am off-ship, you may take it up with him or wait for my return on January 2.

I received some initial reports from the EAA-mandated recycling drive. So far, the Karura has done exceedingly well in nearing the goal for collection. However, there have still been some mistakes in which items have been placed in the wrong containers. This is especially true for electronics. If you are unsure, please find the nearest crewmember and ask for assistance. I am also available.

Per EAA regulation 5.4.1.1.7(f), the ship's entertainment and shopping areas are free to close for pre-holidays -- December 24 and 31 -- if they so choose. EAA regulation 5.4.1.1.7(e) states that the entertainment and shopping areas will be closed for business on December 25 and January 1. Exceptions can be made if Form A-992 is submitted before December 20.

If taste in onsen is third, what are the first two?

[spacekarupin]

Skill in flying and good taste in food.

[zonephantom]

Aa. I would drop good taste in food down a few spots in favor of taste in literature.

[spacekarupin]

For me, literature is somewhere between likes animals and doesn't make short jokes.

[zonephantom]

I can see why those are on your list.

[spacekarupin]

Each person is allowed about two or three before I think they're idiots.

[zonephantom]

That's quite generous.

[spacekarupin]

It would be effort to hate everyone who likes to point out the obvious.

[zonephantom]

I would argue that you aren't that short.

[spacekarupin]

And you're not that serious.

[zonephantom]

People will believe what they wish.

[shishido_ryou]

What?! Captain! Food should be like number one on everyone's list.

[zonephantom]

Therein lies the beauty of personal lists, Shishido. Everyone's number one can be different. That said, you have excellent taste in cuisine.
