2006 November 7 Tuesday.
A very nasty windy and rainy day, with thunder and lighting. My first gig of the day was at Asahikawa University starting at 10:40. When I arrived on campus at about 10:25, the weather was still not that bad. But during my class, it started to get really nasty. By the time I was finished at about 12:10, the rain was coming down so hard, that I had to drive extra slowly back to my classroom, through big puddles of water on the main roads. In the mountains, it was probably snowing. After eating lunch, I got ready for straight classes from 15:00 until 20:00. During today's 15:00 lesson, Mr. T. asked me many questions about the mid-term elections taking place in the USA. I had to stop and remember a lot of things that I have recently forgotten about the structure and procedures of the American political system. I used to be able to recite this information with the greatest of ease, but nowadays, the closest I ever get to politics, is watching the news on SkyPerfect TV, or reading about it on the internet. I am much more interested in various other things these days. Let the politicians and their supporters and their cheerleaders, play their political games. It's a lifestyle choice. How do you want to spend your time on this planet. Keeping a detailed accounting of favors given and favors owed, or just doing the right thing every day, and letting the chips fall where they may. I live my life, according to the latter option. It is a very rewarding and low stress lifestyle that I would recommend to most people. Most REAL PEOPLE, that is.
