That's such an awesome pic. We've been going through quite a bit of that around here lately, attitude-wise, so it was both apropos and timely. Muchos domos!

We went to the Tokyo Sky Tree on Saturday:

Since I was actually here near Tokyo on the day of the Great East Japan Earthquake, I chose not to tempt fate by riding to the top. Silly fear? Perhaps. I just can't seem to shake the memory of my car, though stopped, moving around as if surfing the big waves on the North Shore when the quake went down.

It was strong. Strong enough to leave a lasting impression on one's psyche, for sure.

That’s an amazing view! I sympathize with the earthquake-trauma. Since my auto accident in ‘09, I’ve never been the fearless driver I once was. I’m always expecting someone to pull out of oncoming traffic and drive straight into me!
