MLK Day 2023 / by Goh Kurosawa

I got home; took time to clean, to tune in, and to get a hold of myself. As I was driving through the grapevine, I popped opened a can of kombucha I have been saving since last year; it exploded. Although there was much rain with rather little visibility on the freeway, I kept driving smoothly at 70mph in fourth gear (fifth gear went out on me when I was passing by Redding last year); was just bummed about the fact I was bombed by one of my favorite drinks, but certainly was a lesson to be learned. I had a towel nearby, so I started wiping things dry. Cleaned the inside of my car yesterday in between the tear dropping sky.

It was a great trip that made me realize how much I enjoy where I live. However a new thought came to me this time... that thought, I will share for another time. 

I hope all is healthy; I hope everyone is getting a fun start with this year of hope, this year of the rabbit... time to rock 2023!

帰りました。掃除、整頓、そして呼吸。カリフォルニア州グレープバインを運転している時に、去年よりとっておいた kombucha の缶をピシャ、っと...爆発。雨がたくさん降っていて高速道路状況あまりはっきり見える状態ではない中、普通に時速112㎞を4速で走り続けました(5速は去年レディング通過中に失っています)。自分の大好きな飲み物をただ爆弾のようにくらって残念なだけでしたが、もちろん勉強になりました。手が届くところにあったタオルをとって、運転続けながら車内を拭きだしました。昨日は雨が降っていない時間を利用してさらに車内の清掃。

今回の旅で自分が住んでいる場所が余計に好きになりました。ふと新しい考えもひらめきました...その考えはまたいつか紹介しようと思います。

みなさん、お元気でしょうか?ウサギ年をhope/希望の年と信じる方もいます。2023年を思いっきりあけおめことよろ!
