Pokemon Go Player, Ogimachi Park

Two days after the app was released in Japan.

I hate to moralize all the time, but I am struck by the beauty of the place--and the manifest indifference to it.

Well said Lannie. Head down and don't dare look around you might actually see something. I know it's a different time but it seems that some of the electronic generation is lost in hand..... A great awareness image Jack.

Lannie and Holger have this one pegged, Jack.  One observation I'm going to add is the additional interest the inverted question marks (lamp poles) provide.

I am quite certain that he will not live as long as the residents on Okinawa island where they have 450 people over the age of 100.

This new craze may seem alien to the children of the fifties and sixties, but at least players have to leave the house and move around.

That's a little like saying that at least zombies are walking around rather than just lying in some moldy grave. I guess it's a craze like the hula hoop in the '50's. but then I thought karaoke was "just a passing thing" 25 years ago. I know, I know, spoken like an old curmudgeon.
