Good morning. 🪿🪿🪿

28 March 2025

Back in the early 1960s, at the Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan, there was a park near the seawall that held a special place in our hearts. The centerpiece of the park was the remains of an old airplane, with a slide extending from the back. We affectionately nicknamed it "The Seaplane" and spent countless hours there, letting our imaginations soar. Of course, this makeshift jungle gym would never meet today’s safety standards—sharp edges and all. Yet, despite the potential hazards, we all managed to walk away with just stories to tell and memories to cherish. Remarkably, children would venture to the park on their own, drawn to the charm of The Seaplane by the seawall. It was a different era, full of adventure and freedom.

"In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
