HI, everyone!
Azalea, Alice, I found David Suzuki on TIME October 29, ‘Heroes of the environment.’
I’ll be waiting for your story about him.
Cosmos, it’s interesting for me that the politics in Japan may be like kabuki actor’s dynasty. Since the political life seems really difficult and complicated for an amateur, I think, we tend to entrust those issues to some political families. By the way, in Asian nations except Japan, many daughters have succeeded her father. I wonder why they are so popular in public.
Anyway, every political issue seems suspicious for us, doesn’t it? Chizuko Ueno says that it’s important to cut politician’s pay so that we can exclude a politician from some privilege. Next month, Ms Ueno will come to Nagoya to talk about this issue, and I’m looking forward to seeing her.
So, see you tomorrow, bye!

Hi, everyone.
As Cherry requires, I tell the story about David Suzuki. He was intermented in Canada during the war when he was a lad. He did not or could not go to school. His school was in a beautiful nature every day. There he met wonders of nature.
In the Sacred Balace written by him, one percent argon has consisted of the atmosphere over the earth since 4.6 billion years ago. Argon gas is inertia gas.
So, the gas dinosaurs inhaled and exhaled was intact. You also inhale and exhale the same gas dinosaurs breathed in and out. It is romantic, isn't it.
He says this balance in our biosphere is very sacred and it takes 4.6 billion years to be done. Once this balance is lost, to retreive or restore is difficult.
Hello, Cherry and friends
I am looking forward to listen to Dr. Ueno’s lecture, too. I bought her book “
Spending one’s last days alone”. (I haven’t read it yet.) Recently more and more peoples have chosen to live alone, not marrying anyone. That means they will have to take care of themselves until their death. Now the people who have chosen a single-life without family and children account for a substantial percentage. In a reality, Dr. Ueno is a real model how to live independently until the end of life.
Azalea, thanks your introduction, I also knew the name of David Suzuki. Nature is a great source of knowledge for children, isn’t it? By the way, Azalea talks are always spectacular because they are running beyond time and space. I am exhaling and inhaling the same air as dinosaurs. I am afraid dinosaurs will appear in my dream at night. Don’t worry! They have become friends of mine because of good introduction by Azalea. Thank you. Goodnight everybody. See you tomorrow.
Hi, everyone.
First of all, I would like to correct my word yesterday I used 'intermented' into 'interned'.
Cosmos, I am not intending you are scared, but Tyrannsaurus brain shape is similar to crocodile's one. Perhaps, all of things in front of them were biten without discrimination. However, birds can choose what they want to eat. I suppose there were many types of dinosaurs ranging from near to reptiles to near to birds. By the way, In vietnam, a flood from heavy rain hit the crocodile garden in which many crocodiles were in cage. The cage or net was broken, Some of them were caught but the authority said we don't know how many crocodiles were kept and fled away from there. As the practical issue, it is more scared than dinosaurs' fairy tale.
In my near future, I can watch TV program from National geographics, Fox and Animal planet. Ho, Ho, Ho,I can't wait.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Sorry, I forgot to tell you about Lilian yesterday. Sunflower introduced me to Lilian in 2005. She is a missionary who married to a Japanese professor. She and her husband have a condo in Japan and one in Vancouver. While Sunflower and I were in Canada, I attended services. One of them was held at the church for Japanese-Canadians. As a minister, Lilian sermoned. She talked about an article written by David Suzuki. Then I first heard his name. Maybe he is one of the most famous Japanese-Canadians.
How did Sunflower get to know Lilian? The question is worth asking her. Surprising. Really.
Cosmos, I'm reading Dr Ueno's book, too. It is “ohitorisama no rogo”, right? It is a book for single people like me. Very encouraging.
I have attended a meeting to which Dr Ueno was invited as a commentator. The title of the meeting was very good, which was something like “you can live vigorously.” And it was held in Shizuoka. K san, a friend of mine and a civil servant, and I went there together. The purpose of the meeting was to promote the establishment of NPOs. Dr Ueno radically commented that civil servants were incompetent when she was asked something. The audience laughed but K san whispered me that she didn't want to hear somebody say such a thing. I regretted that I brought her to the meeting. I think Dr Ueno assumed that no civil servants or bureaucrats were there. It was not a meeting for civil servants but for citizens.
Have another good week.
