Urhm? Well, awake still.

I checked outside a bit ago.  It was 50!  Quite nice.  So, I moved the wheelbarrow with logs over to the unloading zone and unloaded.  Then I began raking the area I want to move the rabbit cages and hutch over.  It is shadier, on that side of the tree.  And, set with lengths facing east and west with the open short front and back facing south and north, they will get the optimized cool air and greatest shade during the day.

I was about to begin loading the wheelbarrow when the ducks decided it was breakfast time.  And, given the work area is in the immediate vicinity of their breakfast zone, I came on in.  I will get out in a bit, and begin loading the wheelbarrow.  I might be able to do two wheelbarrow loads?  Three?  After, a break.

Though, I do hope, if I can get that loaded, that I can then get the trailer over to the green drop zone and unload it.  If I can do any more work out there, it might be to begin raking the yard, pulling looser piles and individual twigs over into a singular pile for picking up later.  Work is much easier when it is cooler.

Though, really, I best close up the cave before it starts warming.  This front room, even with the machine on all night, is at 72.  Quite nice.  I left windows and fans on upstairs.  I haven't been up to see what that is, but will get up, shut it all down, and begin the ac, at least one, probably to the west so the sun isn't hitting that side.

I may try to do a bit more yet today.  Some dishes, towels which can be line dried, and maybe some picking up and breaking down boxes... moving a few more out?  Hey, if I could have done this before, I would have.  I have simply been in a tough way.  I'd work every day if I could.  Or... as many as possible.  Today is the day!

Oh... as to Japanese?  I... did order a few things.  From several sources, it was suggested to start with Hiragana and Katakana, so I ordered several books of these, two various takes.  And, for next month, I have several books, of more humble aspirations.  I can always obtain more academic tomes, and probably will at some point.  Each either has audio with it, or available through the author.

I now dream of a visit to Japan.  Though I think it would be just asking to be buried in people, they way they are might... make that reasonable.  It, I might suggest, is why they are the way they are.  How can you be human, and live buried in humans?  By appearing very polite.  Though, I think, with lethal consequences for any who can't stay within that.  The mask of civilization is far thinner, but far stronger, than in America, or even Europe.  When it breaks though?

Of course, they have closed their boarders.  I am not even sure about the Olympics.  Maybe.  Then again, I am not looking for a trip next month.  It would take years for me to save for such a visit.  Japan and the coast of Australia were my last two hoped places to visit.  Australia, the place I wanted to visit, is no more.  I would no more visit Australia than I would visit Detroit.  But, for now, so far, Japan is a place I would still visit.  Once, or if, the mask falsity, and covid baloney, ends.  As with Utah, Japan is exceptionally... bureaucratic.  And, in times of... confusion... that can be a bad place to live.  Or if you piss them off.

The reason I would like to visit Japan, isn't as a... friend.  But as a once enemy.  That will never change.  But, it has changed.  It isn't as a wolf, visiting sheep, or sheep visiting the wolf... all participants are a bit of both.  Or more, or less.  It is to remember what my father did there, and what happened all around, and let go... I think in part for him?  But, to see what he couldn't have seen in his day, or even in his life.

Oh, as well, I am thinking, to help motivate to learn, perhaps manga and such... I know little.  If I already have a favorite, Beserk.  I... stumbled upon that, if not in manga or such forms, nor in Japanese.  But I... think I would quite like to read that in both Japanese and English.  It... isn't right up my alley.  It is as I dream, and perceive, life.  Mostly.

Anyway.  I best get things shut down, and started up, then get back to some work.  Good morning and day.  Who knows, maybe good night if I can't last long, or can't get back to writing.  Be well, God bless, and all that jazz.
