An old man sits beside the weeds and gathers something on the slope of dike of Tama river. I ask him what he is gathering. He tells and show me to pick a long stem of weed through the ground and to pluck off its white bulb. He is going to soy bulbs a few days to tidbid for beer. So he comes here to gahter them almost every day.
I ask him what it is. He tells me that at vegitable shop they would sell them as "chai-booru".
I ask him what taste it is. He says, "Hmm it tastes not so bad. Good for beer or shochuu spirits. Above all it is free and healthy, isn't it?"

I find a long stem of "chai-booru" in the field of weeds near the construction site. I pick it. It is easy to pick it off the ground.

野蒜 bulbe de ciboulette

The bulb is as small as top of my thumb and white. I lap it with a sheat of tissue paper to put it into my pocket. I show it to the leader of the construction workers. He says, "Oh it looks good. With miso it would be cool for "sake". But now "Nobiru" s get hard to eat? "
I come back home and wash this ball to bite it.
The taste is a little hot like onion and it is hard to enjoy the taste.

This is a wooden cover of pin which is used for a gate post to lock.
The pin is very danger for tires of heavy dumper trucks.
One rainy day, I forget to set the cover and a ten-ton dumper truck passes on through it to make me a big sound of air leaking. The truck keeps running with the air leaking and water sparay to the site. The driver is spending half an hour to change the tire.
