God isn\u2019t that petty. I believe He\u2019s quite forgiving.<\/p>\n<p>I didn't say there's a God! lol<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not really interested in religion at all, but I did study it a bit in the past\u2014prompted by a question I had\u2014with the help of various books and advice from friends, so I know a little bit about it lol.<\/p>\n<p>That's why I hate people who act like second-generation jerk monks lol<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, during this COVID-19 pandemic, traveling long distances to visit graves is something that locals tend to dislike, isn't it? (Personally, I think it's fine because it boosts the economy.)<\/p>\n<p>Well, going back from Aichi to Kagoshima is tiring and it's a long way, so I don't go back, lol.<\/p>\n<p>Still, all I can do is put my hands together in prayer as I head from Aichi to Kagoshima by plane.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s that time of year, I\u2019m sure there are family gatherings and such, but I think we\u2019ll be able to go whenever we want once COVID becomes just like the common cold, so I\u2019ll just have to be patient until then.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, COVID-19 will probably end up being treated like the flu. (Just my guess.)<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, I can go as many times as I want.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you'll splurge and have a blast celebrating Obon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As expected, the impact of COVID-19 is significant in this area as well (though the media is largely to blame).<\/p>\n<p>Even that media outlet is in a dire situation.<\/p>\n<p>I don't know what will happen from here on out, but I want to think things through carefully before taking action.<\/p>\n<p>I want to wring every last drop out of my lazy brain to come up with ideas and build a future\u2014so that I can paint a picture of what lies ahead for the current Entame employees!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that Obon is over, let\u2019s all\u2014public sector workers\u2014keep working hard to express our gratitude to our ancestors, for the sake of Japan\u2019s economy, for ourselves, and\u2014to some extent\u2014for our companies!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 150%;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Even after Obon, please be especially careful to avoid heatstroke and stay safe!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See you later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, everyone.

With so much free time on my hands, I started a blog. I\u2019ve been sharing my expertise on slope stabilization and answering all kinds of questions. As a result, I\u2019ve seen an increase in inquiries, questions, and orders from slope stabilization contractors, general contractors, and other major construction firms. My traffic on Ameblo grew to a reasonable level, so I decided to move on from Ameblo by acquiring my own domain in order to create a more user-friendly blog. I plan to continue sharing all my expertise openly and honestly here. I look forward to your continued support.","sameAs":["http:\/\/enta-d.co.jp\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/norimenman\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/enta.d\/","https:\/\/x.com\/norimenman","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/entadnorimenman"]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/remote-grave-visit\/#local-main-organization-logo","url":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/site_title_logo.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/site_title_logo.png","width":220,"height":50,"caption":"\u65b0\u30a8\u30f3\u30bf\u306e\u6cd5\u9762\u7ba1\u7406\u587e"}]}},"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-21 18:53:01","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/de769fa46043a8548a371724b4836032.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42464"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61688,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42464\/revisions\/61688"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/norimen.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
