When it is a hot and humid day like today, I feel comfortable wearing a worn-out T-shirt.

On my way home, there was a very light rain yesterday.
I was on the point of arriving home when it stopped to fall.
Takuma Sato, a Japanese racing driver, entered his third Indianapolis 500 race on Sunday 27th of May, 2012.
He established a new record for the most laps led of Japanese in the historical event.
I think it was one of my most unforgettable races.
At Turn 1 on the final lap of the race, he tried to take the lead, and got inside Dario Franchitti, the winner of the race.
But Sato's car spun out and hit the SAFER Barrier.
He was sick about the race right after he retired.
However his face seemed to be clear the next day of the race.
Takuma, go for it!

I am very fond of the fried chicken of “Takitate-Bentou Yoshihasi” and “Takitate-Bentou Yanagi.”
Both of them are the shops selling take-away lunches.
Their fried chickens are very juicy, especially the latter one is peppery.
By the way, “Bentou” means “a box lunch”, and “Takitate” means “hot from the rice cooker.”
And my house is situated in between the two shops.
“Takitate-Bentou Yoshihasi”

Though I felt a little bit discomfort in my lower abdomen, it was very fine today so I rode my bicycle in a short time.
What a windy day!
There was probably no problem with my physical condition.

After this cycling, feeling a bit tired, I got almost no exercises for two days.
And my mother came home from London last Tuesday.
Although this was her first trip abroad, she had a good time while staying there for four days.
She thanks her sister-in-law for taking her there.
And I was in the hospital for two days because of a right-ureteral calculus（右尿管結石）.
On Saturday morning, I felt a terrible pain in my right side.
Because the pain has gone away, I have left the hospital since this morning.
But I think I should take better care of my health for the time being.
The day when Pastor Maldonado took his maiden Formula One victory, I started this riding-a-bike season.
According to Jun Imamiya, a Japanese motorsports journalist, though having a severe look, he is a kind-hearted man with a great affection for his family.
Five days ago, that is, last Friday, I found the old standpipe being illuminated by the mild light on my way home from work in Shirone.
And I chose one from some cycling plans.

One day, I went to my usual barbershop, but unfortunately it was closed.
Even so, I had a good time climbing over a hill on my way to and from.
And I got my hair cut short the following day.
Let me change the topic of this composition.
Hearing the sound of waves and seeing the sunset, I feel comfortable during walking on a sandy beach.
I think I was born in a good place.
“Is there any restaurant around here?”
Ondrej Hybl, a trainee Kyogen actor, asked the general storekeeper who lives in a small village in Slovakia.
(I think it is probably Vlkolinec, which was registered on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1993.)
He answered,
“if we would build a restaurant around here, this village would be noisy by the tourists to come here.”
I watched their conversation on TV.
And, in an instant, I wrote down the Japanese subtitles of his words in a scrap of paper beside me.
「もしもレストランなんて作ったら、観光客が来てうるさくなるだろう。」
(These photographs were taken in Niigata.)
I wonder why the economy and convenience often have priority over the gentle life in our society.
However, I also think that we cannot live without the economy and some kind of convenience.
Being worried about something may also be one of cultures.
