■I took a rest this morning without running. The heavy rain of the rainy season continues. Heavy rain hit the Kyushu region, leaving 44 dead in Kumamoto. The Kuma River has been flooded with heavy rains like never recorded before.
Here in Shizuoka, the school was closed yesterday. Two school checkups were scheduled in the morning today. If it rained badly, we had to close the school and have to postpone the school check-up, but at 7 o’clock the phone was called from the school and the alarm was canceled, so the school check-up will be carried out as usual. I will close the clinic in the morning and go to the school checkup today.
■I started reading “Mituya Seizaemon Remaining Diary” by Shuhei Fujisawa from last weekend. The title is “I’m still far away from the rest of the day”.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I am an independent business owner, so as long as my physical strength continues, I can continue to work every day. I’ve talked a lot to people who have retired, and I’m more wondering what kind of life they are living after their retirement. That’s why I started reading this book again.
For me, whether I’m 60 or 65, it doesn’t change every day as long as I’m physically fit. Compared to the old days, as the amount of work decreased, various roles came to play, and the number of chores increased.
However, I cannot continue my life forever. Because my physical strength does not last. When I turn 70, I will start end of life planning and decluttering
It’s raining hard this morning. Around 4:30, I woke up once and looked outside, but at first glance it looked like it wasn’t raining. So I opened the window and looked closely, but it was still raining.
According to the weather forecast, I decided that it was going to be heavy rain and I went to sleep. As of 7:20, it is raining heavily and hitting the roofs of houses.
■ The Tokyo Governor’s election was held yesterday, and Yuriko Koike was re-elected. The vote was 3,661,371. Kenji Utsunomiya is in second place with 844,151 votes. The third place is Taro Yamamoto with 657,277 votes. Fourth place was Daisuke Ono with 612530 votes. The voting rate was 55%, which did not reach 60%.
There are various thoughts from this number, but I can not understand why Mr. Yuriko Koike, who is incumbent, gets such a vote. As a politician, I don’t think she’s been so worthy of this vote.
In short, there must be a large number of votes called organizational votes that pushed Koike up. The governor thus elected will eventually work for the organization, and for the nonpartisan who did not go to elections, the governor will not do much work and must be dedicated to performance.
As I was supporting Taro Yamamoto, I hoped to get 1 million votes, but I understood how difficult it was.
In the upcoming general elections, Japan’s politics will not change unless the opposition party takes a lump-sum flag with a consumption tax cut of 5% and opposes the ruling party. In other words, the gap will become wider, security will deteriorate, and the world will become difficult to live in.
What kind of social landscape can be seen by the executives of the Constitutional Democratic Party who are opposed to the tax reduction? It is harmful and useless for politicians who do not see people’s lives and lives properly.
■ Well, I started taking “Egoma oil” from yesterday. I decided to add a tablespoon of Egoma oil to the natto I eat every day according to the instructions of my doctor, Uebaba. I also add “Okara powder” and eat it.
Egoma oil seems to work as a good oil to lower bad cholesterol. I started taking it with the aim of lowering the high level of bad cholesterol, which is a problem in my constitution, with natural foods, not with drugs.
Thanks to running 100 kilometers a month, good cholesterol is over 100, so the ratio of bad cholesterol/good cholesterol is less than 2, which is within the normal range. After all, the one with less bad cholesterol does not hurt the blood vessel.
The next visit is at the end of August, so I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to my body after taking sesame oil for 2 months.
Today is July 1st. July has finally begun. Half a year is over. The start of the second half is a heavy rainy morning.
The school check-up, which had been postponed due to a coronavirus infection, was scheduled to start from today, but the school itself is likely to be closed due to heavy rain.
I received a phone call from the school yesterday and asked what I should do for the school checkup tomorrow. I asked him to contact me if my school was closed tomorrow morning. Corona virus infection plus rainy season cannot help. The weather alone won’t help.
■ According to the newspaper, the number of people staying at domestic inns/hotels in May decreased by 84.8% year-on-year to a total of 7.81 million, according to the 30-day Japan Tourism Agency’s preliminary overnight travel statistics. ..
The occupancy rate of guest rooms decreased by 50.4 points year-on-year to 12.8%. It was reported that resort hotels were 3.6% (down 56.0 points), inns 5.3% (down 36.2 points), and city hotels 8.9% (down 71.0 points), which were all below 10%.
With this, the accommodation and tourism industry is truly a blue breath. In reality, the Olympics were held, and many tourists came from overseas, and the ryokan were supposed to be full, but the darkness is one step ahead.
Even if the spread of coronavirus ends, no one knows how much the previous boom will return.
I took a rest this morning. I ran on last Saturday and had already reached the goal of running 100km a month, so I will take a rest for 3 days and start stacking again from 1st July. It’s in the middle of the rainy season, so every day I’m always running, worrying about whether it will rain for one hour from 5:30 in the morning.
Half a year is over today. The year 2020 was planned to be a glorious year due to the Olympic Games, but it was changed due to the spread of coronavirus. For my family, the long-awaited first grandchild was born in January, so it is a year of joy, but it is unavoidable only for natural disasters.
Moreover, what makes the new coronavirus different from previous disasters is that it was a worldwide epidemic under highly advanced globalization. Economic activity has been disrupted and severely damaged. The tourism or aviation industry is typical.
Planes flew all over the world at the Olympics, and it was thought that people would move around the world, and there was a global epidemic, and people stopped coming and going. Clearly, it is impossible to advance globalization as it has been.
Different economic activities or lifestyles will be required. We are still at the stage of imagining what our society and life will be like at that time. We will start from tomorrow in the latter half of 2020, which is a major turning point historically.
■ By the way, this morning in the Tokyo Shimbun, the results of the public opinion poll were reported as a detailed report on the Tokyo Governor election poll. According to this, 22.8% that evaluates Koike’s four years. If anything, rate 57.8%. The combined answer is 80.6%. I was very surprised at this result.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t understand. Because when I wondered what the Governor of Tokyo should have done in the last four years or after the spread of coronavirus, I had no idea what to do.
However, listening to the speech of Taro Yamamoto, the representative of the Shinsengumi, who ran for candidate, changed my mind. In other words, I realized that there were other measures I could take.
For example, Taro Yamamoto asks why she did not specify the coronavirus as a natural disaster. In other words, many people or citizens of the city might not have had their lives destroyed by pressing the government to specify it.
However, we were not informed that there was such a means. Regarding what Governor Koike should have done, I felt that it was very important that it was not properly evaluated because there was little information.
In short, some of the people who appreciate Koike metropolitan government may of course be positively evaluated, but there are many voters who simply do something.
After all, Governor Koike has almost no track record for four years, as evidenced by her current campaign. Since she is an incumbent, she should have appealed for four years of achievements, but Governor Koike conducts election activities as if she had entered a secluded life.
There is almost no discussion between candidates. It seems that the voting day will be reached without clarifying what is the problem. With this, the city government cannot go in a better direction.
The trick of cheating and waiting for the passage of time is just like national politics. Prime Minister Abe and Governor Koike must be identical twins in terms of political methods.
It is the blue sky after a long absence this morning. I took a good rest until 6pm. Yesterday, in the rain and fog, I assisted as a member of the Shin-Numazu Country Club for one day.
It’s a lot of fun to have various stories while working with the committee members. Mori, who I worked with yesterday, once worked in Hokkaido and Hakata. I’m also a Hokkaido lover, and I went to Kyushu several times with Sun.
Hakata’s food stalls are famous, but they do not seem to be very popular with tourists. When it comes to tourists, the bills may be more expensive than the locals. I felt that when I enjoyed dinner with my family. While listening to Mr. Mori, I was convinced that it was true.
If the shopkeeper listens to the words spoken by the customer, the shopkeeper can easily tell whether the person is a local or a tourist. However, I feel that if the store keeps doing such things, business will not last long.
■ By the way, in this morning’s Tokyo Shimbun, Shigeyoshi Wada, the representative of the NPO corporation Kudakekai, cites these words as “Words of the Week”.
“A moth and butterflies line up and suck nectar, Toshi Hikichi”
The sight of moths and butterflies side by side sucking nectar feels very peaceful, fun and bright. Above all, it is peaceful to live in harmony.
There are people with various characteristics in the world. A person who seems to be strong or weak. Some people are kind and some are mean. Neither rich nor poor can classify a person’s worth as a result.
Because everyone is trying hard to live. It is peaceful and fun to interact and help each other.
■ Indeed, that’s right. A march of troops is enough for people with similar looks to behave in order.
We must create a society in which each person has his or her personality.
I took a good rest this morning. According to the weather forecast, it was raining this morning, so I didn’t feel like running from the beginning. I was waking up at 6 o’clock, but I woke up at 5 o’clock as if I remembered my body, but I was still mellow again until 6 o’clock.
Today is the 25th. When I was working at a hospital, I couldn’t wait for the payday on the 25th, but it became a completely unrelated day after becoming an independent business owner. Rather, they have to pay their employees, which may be a painful day for self-employed people.
You can imagine that self-employed people are struggling with cash flow for various payments every day when they are forced into refraining from business due to coronal failure and are unable to receive daily money. It must be a time for national and local governments to boldly extend their support. It is a disaster that cannot be managed by individual efforts alone.
■ By the way, the 21st page of the Tokyo Shimbun this morning is written as “Reading the editorial office Nantan Nisshi” and the topical work “Empress”, Mr. Maki Tahara, the director of the Tokyo Shimbun Written with experience. This is the experience when Mr. Tahara studied abroad at the Arabic language school attached to Cairo American University a quarter century ago.
“I don’t know my homework. It’s not difficult, I don’t know what I’m doing, because my lessons were all in Arabic.” Arabic seems to be esoteric anyway. Even in the language training (study abroad) for employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it seems that Arabic is only 3 years, while other languages are almost 2 years.
According to Tahara, all the friends and acquaintances who have studied in Cairo for some time are generally calm about Governor Koike’s educational background. It would be a miracle if a person went to Cairo and entered the Cairo University with a year of language preparation and could graduate. However, such a miracle can occur in a country called Egypt. It is written that this may be partly due to empirical knowledge.
“It looks like it’s not as rewarding as the one who enthusiastically confronted the Arabic language and worked hard to learn it,” says the Empress, but Tawara says at the end.
Might be so. If so, it is paradoxical, but it may be that the life of striving to stand up in the world rather than language is the correct answer.
However, the practice of learning a foreign language, which opens up an unknown world, has the appeal of surpassing the ordinary desires.
Difference in way of life. It feels like the root reason why seriously learned people in Cairo don’t talk much about this issue.
A person’s way of life is ten people, ten colors. A life that started from a foundation that was solidified by lying and lived while thinking only about using people. What does it really mean when such a person reaches the end of his life?
I took a good rest this morning. Despite the rainy season, there was no rain yesterday and the wind blew so it was a cloudy and refreshing day.
The weather forecast said it would rain this afternoon, so I was going to run in the morning. Unfortunately, the time when it started to rain seems to have come a little earlier. I was ready to run and left the entrance, but it was raining so hard that I couldn’t say it was light rain. I made preparations, but there is nothing I can do about this. I got the newspaper and started preparing breakfast.
■ I was surprised that the newspaper page was clearly changed. I felt that the size of the letters was larger than it was yesterday, and the gap between the letters was wider, making it much easier to read. The article on the front page says that the game dependence among minors is serious, and the left half says that the new candidate will break the current position by a large difference in the Shimoda mayoral election. I was wondering why the Shimoda mayoral election was in the Tokyo newspaper that I subscribe to, but at that time I didn’t notice the cause.
I read the newspaper all the way through and found out why. The newspaper store mistakenly delivered the Shizuoka newspaper instead of the Tokyo newspaper. The dealers handle so many types of newspapers that they may have delivered them by mistake. I live in Shizuoka, so reading the Shizuoka newspaper is probably the best way to find out what’s wrong with the locals, but unfortunately I feel a little too local.
It is a time when it is difficult to manage local newspapers. In the United States, the number of local newspapers that have disappeared is increasing. The cause is the spread of the internet. Many people watch the news online and do not read newspapers.
The habit of reading newspapers slowly is disappearing. It’s not that we have no time. It seems that people spend much more time watching TV in the US than in Japan, so you can allocate a little of that time to the newspaper. Unfortunately, modern people prefer TV to newspapers, and at other times they enjoy the internet.
However, the news articles that overflow on the net are made by interviewing newspapers and magazines, so the net is in a sense free. Neither Google nor Yahoo should have paid for the news manuscript.
Then, newspaper publishers and magazine publishers will not make a profit even if they spend a lot of money to write articles. There is no doubt that large IT companies, so-called platformers, should somehow be taxed.
I took a good rest this morning. It has been raining since yesterday. Of course it’s in the middle of the rainy season. It’s quiet on a rainy morning and I like it. However, I can’t run, so I don’t want to have a long rainy morning.
I like snowy nights more. But as long as I live in Shizuoka prefecture, I can’t expect such a night. When I lived in Toyama prefecture more than 30 years ago, I had a wonderful snowy night.
I worked at a university hospital at that time, but it was the first time I lived in a snowy country. One day I finished work and went home at midnight. I was surprised when I got home that night. It was snowing and the wiper was frozen and I couldn’t drive home. In other words, I had no choice but to walk home.
I remember it took about an hour. Fortunately, the snow had stopped, there was no wind, and there was no blizzard. It was already midnight, so there was almost no car and it was a really quiet night.
I still remember vividly that night when I walked back home alone. It was a bright night, unexpectedly because it was covered in snow. The temperature dropped and the snow was frozen, so I could slip and fall, or I could get caught in a drainage ditch in the accumulated snow, so I went home with caution. I didn’t pass each other until I got home.
I took a good rest this morning. The alarm rang at 5 o’clock, and I was sleeping very comfortably at that time. I wasn’t so tired that I couldn’t get up, but I was so comfortable that I fell asleep again.
I’m sure I was tired yesterday, but I was more comfortable than I wanted to run. It’s June 15th today, so it’s in the middle of the month. The total mileage this month is almost half, so I’m able to stack as planned. The weather this week isn’t so bad, so it’s likely that I’ll be able to sleep well and build up more.
■ By the end of this week, candidates for the Tokyo Governor election will be closed. I really want the representative of Taro Yamamoto of Reiwa Sinsengumi to run. Tokuuma Utsunomiya is running for opposition. I think the opinion that opposition party votes will be distributed and will benefit Koike is reasonable.
However, if it continues as it is, there is a great possibility that Taro Yamamoto will be buried. Due to a coronavirus infection, the street address that Taro Yamamoto is good at cannot be done. In other words, we are unable to directly appeal to our voters for their claims. Although I am sending information firmly on the net, it is still difficult to get many people to listen even in terms of number, and it is possible to get more voters to understand by appealing on the street I think it is more important than ever.
Governor Kataya Koike diverts taxes to his election measures, and is appearing on TV including commercials. It is unavoidable that many voters get hooked during the operation of Governor Koike, who appears on TV to incite the fear of coronaviruses and pretends to take proper measures against it.
It is important for Taro Yamamoto to run as a candidate and let as many voters as possible know about the policies that have been appealed until now through the media such as television. I think his candidacy is worth it.
■ 100% change of government is not possible with the current opposition parties. In that case, Japan’s decline, poverty, and worsening security are inevitable. Japan is only deteriorating. At any rate, we have to change the flow.
We have to carry out politics with the most common sense. It’s a jargon word, but there’s a word that “you can’t stand without your trust.” In short, politics cannot be done without the trust of the people in politics. I read that Prime Minister Abe used to say this word before, but I felt that there were no more bad black jokes.
We must change such politics as soon as possible. All we have to do is to engage in politics in accordance with the common sense we use as the norm of behavior. Every day, we repeat the very obvious thing that a red traffic light stops and a green light progresses. Don’t let people get hurt, don’t trick people, this is also common sense.
However, such common sense is completely lost in current politics. All I want to do is to lie in front of the people with ease, tamper with the official documents, and even change the law. If things like this pass, society and the country will collapse.
In any case, we must make it a common sense country. There is little time left.
