Apologies for Inactivity/A Short Bream
Hello, my dear patrons. I apologize for the silence on Patreon, and the lack of video releases as of late.
I had a death in the family, and I've been out of the United States for the past week. I will not be back until likely the end of March, and thus the next video also isn't likely to be ready until then.
Your patronage means the world to me, and I hate to disappoint. I hope though that the lack of content might be understandable, in light of the circumstances.
I may take some time to share a few photos with you while I'm abroad, or tell you a story or two. I might also stop by Japan on the way back, to handle some business there, and maybe do some research on the ground.
In other news, the last video was claimed by, of all entities, the Associated Press, for the use of a 15 second clip in the nearly 2 hour video. I had managed to overcome two other fair use claims, by the AP and British Pathe respectively, but this one was rejected and I'm not inclined to fight it out.
Your support means that such unwelcome occurrences aren't a detriment to the Channel. Thank you again, truly, for everything.

Please take as much time as you need to rest, heal, and think about life. I hope that you can spend some time with other family members and reminisce.

Sorry for your loss Moonie. Take your time, we will be here when you come back =)
No need to apologize. Take as much time as you need. You deserve a good break after everything you've been through lately.
Wow. I didn’t know the AP was so litigious regarding YouTube. I wonder if that’s the case for more and more news outlets as they’ve put greater weight in digital media over the last decade…
My condolences for your loss.
If your Japan trip brings you to Okinawa and you feel up to meeting a fan, I'd be happy to treat you to dinner or drinks. Of course, absolutely no pressure - totally understandable if you wouldn't feel comfortable accepting, especially given the circumstances. Sending my best wishes to you and your family; please take all the time you need.
PTO approved
Don't worry about the lack of content; family comes first. We appreciate you keeping us informed. Thank you for everything you do. Take care and know that we'll be here when you're ready to return. Going to Japan on the way back sounds like it might be a good way to de-stress after everything that happened.
