The triplets appeared when I was on a call with my colleagues in Japan. I had to pause, standup, click and send them a pic. It was good to see they are growing and all appear to be healthy. It will be good to get back to Japan after many many years away.

Rituals versus Routines

-

Confucious impressed on us the importantance of ritual. The modern world demands our attention more and more. The external grabs of attention continue to steal our precious and very finite time.

Although the words ritual and routine are quite different. Maybe the concept is the same.

Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

It has been hot and humid. We usually get some breaks in the heat and humidity in the summer. Not this year. The relativity humidity barely edged below 60% in the last month.

It was made in Russia and distributed out of Belarus. They translated into Kazakh and Armenian. I liked the taste and the label.

I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout. When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper. Charge the battery, run the AC and enjoy the filtered ventilation with a nice entertainment system. Crazy. The paddleing wasn't that good. We found ourselves in Lake Keowee. The campground was good if you speak Spanish, and only enjoy power sports on small boats. I am a bit disturbed by the new trend of wake boarding. Instead of skiing being towed by...

I took this pic while camping the past week. It was taken at sunrise, but also there is a full-moon in the west. It was a capricorn moon. https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/astrology/full-moon-in-capricorn-july-2025 A few more pics of the deer triplets. I managed to get all three in a couple pics. All three seem to be healthy. I think they are about 10 weeks old. They are eating grass nicely.
