I wish you all may have a happy new year!

Every new year holidays I have a wooden bowl of soup with mochi.
I cook it by myself with the memory of my mother's cooking.

I add two piece of mochi into the dish of Okinawan style oden(Japanese pot-au-feu).
There is a slice of goya(okinawan cucumber) in the Satuma-age(fish meat fry).

I spent the first day of the year to sleep.
On the second day I worked at the Nishiurawa station.
In the morning it was cloudy and around the noon it began to hard rain without wind. I could see the sun at last at the Musashiurawa station when the sun was setting into the heavy cloud.

On January 3 in the morning it was warm with thick cloud and no wind, but around noon the north wind began blowing so that I could see the Mt. Fuji at the first time of this year in the evening. Just when the sun set, the violent wind blew the mountain to rise up the snow onto the sky.

I pick up a fake pearl on the platform of the Nishiurawa station.
It's so nice to take a picture of the baroque imitation , I think.
But soon after when I take a picuture of it, my co-worker comes to pick it up to examine it and says, "I am dissapointed to find it a fake" and he throws it into the rail road.

Just when the train stops at the Kitatoda station, the sun sets and the golden color spreads the heaven. Then the north wind blows very hard to make a big smoke of snow which starts from the northern slope of Mt Fuji and flies over the top of the mountain.

It is a little warm morning when I can see the sun rising at the Nishiurawa station. The temperature is two degrees. It scarcely blows.
After a weak north wind night, there are lots of vacant cans on the platform.
In this morning, I picked up a dozen cans and push them into the trash hole of the vending machine.

The greatest news of the year of 2005 is the big earthquake on July 23.
At that time, I was on the train at the Kitaakabane station.
Don't say, "Never give up!"

May we have no big earhquake this year!

At Los Angels I often find myself alone suddenly without finding citizen around me to be scared so much. At an entrance of a big shopping center I find nobody around there. I hurry to turn around the corner to feel safe to see a few people.
