Earlier this week, it snowed for the first time in a long time. It was more snow than I had expected.
Watching the snow fall from the sky, my heart returned to my childhood

秋葉原、その名は、知らない人はいないというほど知られています。
だが、その街は、絶えず大きく変化し続けています。最初は、戦後の闇市街、そして、家電街に発展、三種の神器と言われる家電製品を買いに人々が殺到しました。次いでメイド喫茶で名を馳せ、現在は、これらに漫画やアニメ、ゲームなどサブカルチャーの発信地として注目を浴びています。外国観光客の人気も高いのです。ここを訪れることは、日本のユニークな一面を目の当たりにできるともいわれています。
１ Akihabara is changing
Akihabara is so well known that it is hard to find one who doesn't know it. However, the town is constantly undergoing major changes.
At first, it was a post-war black market, and then developed into a home electrical appliances district, people crowded on there to buy home electrical appliances, which are said to be the three sacred treasures. It then became famous for its maid cafes, and is now attracting attention as a source of subcultures such as manga, anime, and games. It is also very popular with foreign tourists. It is said that visiting this place allows you to see a unique side of Japan.
２ トランプ前大統領は今回立候補できるの？
インターネットでとても興味深い記事を見つけました。それは次のようなものです。
コロラド州最高裁は火曜日、合衆国憲法の暴動条項に基づき、ドナルド・トランプ前大統領をホワイトハウスの候補者として不適格とし、同州の大統領予備選の投票対象から外した。その理由は、トランプ氏が2021年1月6日の首都襲撃に関与したことで暴動を扇動したというものだ。この裁判は現在、連邦最高裁判所に提訴されている。米国の人々は裁判所の判断を待っている
２ Can former President Trump run this time?
I found a very interesting article on the Internet as follows.
・・・The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declaredformer President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the sate’s presidential primary ballot. The reason is that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capital. The case is now up to the Federal Supreme Court. People in the U.S.A. are waiting the the decision of the court.・・・
３ 交通事故にあわないよう注意を！
最近、私の親族（姻族）の1人が、自転車で職場に向かっていたとき、交通事故に遭いました。交差点にさしかかったとき、左折するトラクタ・トレイラーと出会い、転倒、そして左足を轢かれたのです。左足を粉砕骨折しました。その治療で1月に3回の手術を受けました。医師からは、皮膚の壊死もあって、左足切断のリスクが指摘されていたのですが。これは回避できるかもしれないとの見込みを得ました。彼女は現在4回目の手術を終えたところです。最近、自転車の交通事故被害が増加しているといわれています。気を付けましょう
３ Be careful not to get into a traffic accident!
Recently, one of my relatives (in-laws) was involved in a traffic accident while riding his bicycle to work. As he approached the intersection, he encountered a tractor-trailer turning left, causing him to fall and his left leg to be run over. His left leg was fractured. For this treatment, I underwent three surgeries in January. His doctor had pointed out that there was a risk of having his left leg amputated due to necrosis of his skin. There is hope that this may be avoided. She has now just finished her fourth surgery. It is said that the number of bicycle traffic accidents is increasing recently. Be careful.
