On my way to work this morning I had to dodge piles and piles of garbage/drift bamboo/boat pieces that the typhoon dumped along the coastal road. There was sooo much junk. Mother Nature was cheesed, that's for sure. And who can blame her when we create so much (unnecessary) garbage and then fail to dispose of it properly.
My friend Phil, who lives about 1hr inland was almost flooded out of his apartment! He lives alongside the Hiji river, which inevitably broke its banks as it tried to deal with the runoff from the surrounding mountains. Luckily, Phil is on the 2nd floor so he emerged unscathed. The first floor residents and Phil's car didn't fair so well. The water was up to the hood of his car!
Any mechanics out there? Will his car be ok after it dries out? Aside from gas in the fuel tank?
I'll post some pics once I get them from Phil!
Fumiko brought me a suspicious looking binder this morning that had my name on it. With the new merger of towns, it seems the number of breaths of each employee is recorded. I now have to log every KM that I drive in my car. Distance, purpose, date and odometer reading. Sigh. I am failing to see how this merger is reducing work -- as Koizumi promised.

How do you expect comments when you don't let people know that you have a blog! I like how yours looks way better than mine even though it probably took about 1/8th the effort. Phil told me his car is wrecked... :(
I'm liking not having to worry about school lunches anymore. Today was chicken katsu curry with cheese. Mmm, so much for my body fat percentage.
