It took me two hours to pull out the crabgrass. My son says that if we move to a condo, I’ll get bored because I don’t have many friends.

He bravely declared, “I’m really going to mow the lawn…”

This morning, I took a yoga class at the City of LA Senior Center and had lunch at the luncheon afterward.

About 80 ～ to 100 people gather at this center for lunch. Given the area, almost everyone is a U.S. citizen, and there are only a handful of people of Asian descent, including my wife and me. As a result, I hear nothing but English around me. There must be quite a few Latino residents here in the SF Valley as well, but for some reason, I don’t hear any Spanish.

The current temperature in SF Valley has soared to 102.5°F (39.2°C).

It’s under the eaves in the backyard, so there’s no direct sunlight.

It’s incredibly “hot” outside.

If I went for a walk or something outside, I might pass out.

I’m a 23-year-old woman, and an 82-year-old man living in Los Angeles who goes by the katakana name “Edokko.” Since 2009, I’ve been visiting Shikoku roughly once a year, covering about a quarter of the pilgrimage route each time. However, as I’ve entered my late elderly years and am starting to show some signs of dementia, my wife has firmly told me, “Don’t go to Shikoku anymore.”

Now that I can’t go to Shikoku anymore, I miss it even more and am agonizing over how much I want to walk the pilgrimage route. To make up for it, I watch the 23-year-old woman’s YouTube videos and imagine I’m walking through Shikoku myself. Please keep making interesting videos in the future...

[Pilgrimage] 23-Year-Old Woman’s Solo Pilgrimage: Days 30 & 31 ｜ The Iyo Pilgrimage Trail: Where the Stunning Views from the Summit Keep Me Going, Whether It’s an Uphill Pass or a Ladder on a Sheer Cliff

https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=clC1UPMtuZA&t=307s

Even on a walking pilgrimage in Shikoku, if the weather is clear, you’ll find yourself hiking through mountains with scenery this beautiful.

I’ve walked this section about twice myself.

Along the way, there are spots where the original pilgrimage path is blocked by a landslide, so you have to climb a ladder attached to the slope to take a detour. Well, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the top, so it’s no big deal.

＞ I’ve walked this section about twice myself.

This means I’ve completed the pilgrimage route around Shikoku twice; walking the entire circuit is about 1,200 km. If you divide that by four, it works out to walking 300 km once a year.

Once you get hooked on this “walking pilgrimage,” you’ll want to return to Japan—and to Shikoku—over and over again.

Well, here in LA, the weather is warm year-round and it rains only a handful of times, so it’s very comfortable to live here—but on the other hand, I sometimes find myself missing Japan with its distinct four seasons. That’s why I’ve started traveling to Japan primarily to do the “Shikoku Pilgrimage.”

Looking back at the World Cup, Japan ended up with just one win in four matches.
There were some who called this the strongest team ever, so expectations were high, but the fact that they didn’t even make it to the Round of 16 means they weren’t really that strong after all.
In my opinion, the fact that all the “genius-type” players were sidelined played a major role.
Specifically, I’m thinking of Mitoma, Kubo, and Minamino.
If they’d had even one player with that kind of genius or charisma, the outcome might have been different.

I felt that the Japanese team had really grown this time.

In the game, Brazil was excellent at moving the ball around.
Japan ran out of attacking ideas and found themselves at a dead end...
Soccer that can break through that ・
But 4, 8 years from now, I’m looking forward to Japan’s future ！ ！

Thank you ！ ！ Japan National Team ！ ！

Maybe it’s because she has a disability or something? ？ A friend of mine was told she couldn’t bring her stroller in, so she had to go all the way back to the parking lot. She said the kids were either carried or had to walk, which left them completely exhausted—it was the worst day ever. When someone else pointed out that the sign said “No strollers,” she got really upset and said, “Everyone else is bringing theirs—why am I the only one who wasn’t allowed?”

If there’s a sign, there must be a reason, right?

How much is your home internet now, how much is your outgoing internet bill （ how much is the Wifi Hot Spot on your phone ？ ） and how much are you spending per month on communication?
How much do you consider expensive and how much data do you use per month, etc.
It would be difficult to answer without at least this information.

I personally consider Verizon's portable Wi-Fi to be highly reliable, and I can use up to 150GB per month for $ 80, but
if you watch videos, etc., it would be unrealistic to use this as your home Internet connection.

But Porsche is different. Hybrid is the lowest and maintenance cost is absurdly high

Other German luxury cars also have high maintenance cost
Wealthy people may flirt with Benz, Porsche, etc. for a while, but eventually they settle down with Lexus when they get old.
People who have enough money and don't mind the price end up with Lexus ～ It is best to change luxury cars in 3 years

Korean cars look cheap but they are copies and you can't find the soul of technology like Japanese cars
Sometimes people are fooled by the price and the glance, but I think I am not the only one. Sometimes there are people who are fooled by the price, but they are often people with low IQ.

Why not try taking up a tree with permission? Even if you are successful, it will take 3 to 5 years for the tree to bear fruit, but it will be a pleasure to watch the plant grow.

Usually with trees like that, you cut off the small branches in the off-season and
grow them in pots and fertilize them at first. When they get big enough, you move them to land. I think that's how it works.
I did it with grapes, and they were doing well, but the gardeners threw them away （ tears ）
I think it still takes a few years for them to bear fruit.

I think it would be faster to buy them from some nursery ？.

Thank you ！ It takes that long 🥲

For now, I think it would be better to buy one pot of fruit from Nursery, grow and eat it, and enjoy growing the branches I get from that house.

I wonder if I should cut the branches around there ？ Do you have any advice ？

Also, I don't think I have ever come across a Nursery that sells Kumquat in the past ？
The last time I saw a potted kumquat plant was about 10 years ago at a swap meet, sold by an Asian guy. I remember regretting it for a while because even then I was traveling far from home and didn't buy it.

Some types of citrus are banned from sale. I don't know if you can get them because they are regulated to prevent disease and I saw on the news that a vendor in San Diego sued the governor of the state by the million as he had to get rid of his seedlings.
There are plenty of YouTubers who can find you trees to take, but they are more likely to be successful than cuttings.

I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ！ I knew it was worm ！ ！

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try ！

I see the rotary one has two layers ！ I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more ！.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon ＄ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.
