Balefire: Unforgiving Slopes
http://balefires.blogspot.com/2013/04/unforgiving-slopes.html
Mostly irreverent, often cynical, occasionally serious comments on whatever raises my eyebrow- or my ire- today. Monday, April 29, 2013. I wrote around this time last year. About Golden Week climbing accidents, in summer of 2009. About climbing accidents increasing, and elsewhere. About the risks of climbing Mt. Fuji. The high country is beautiful, and trekking or climbing are really fun, but one has to be prepared, and sometimes even then things can go badly awry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
Balefire: March 2013
http://balefires.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Mostly irreverent, often cynical, occasionally serious comments on whatever raises my eyebrow- or my ire- today. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Farewell to the Black Lion. The Black Lion pub in Meguro has been my "local", my favorite urban refuge from madness in madness, for most of the time since it opened in 1996. It closed its doors for the last time a week ago, and I'm going to miss it, a lot. So what was the last night at the Black Lion like? An utterly senseless fight or two to break up.lots of musi...
Balefire: October 2012
http://balefires.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Mostly irreverent, often cynical, occasionally serious comments on whatever raises my eyebrow- or my ire- today. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I freely admit- before relatives and friends from those days point it out to me- that in my much earlier youth my Spanish grandmother occasionally used to call me " sinvergüenza. Have been strongly criticized, it is impossible to live here without observing how shame is used to, for example, control children. You won't hear "Stop that, it's bad! But you will hear "...

Drenched volunteers. Photo courtesy of Miyoko Ito.]. After we visited the last area, we visited a community center where some of the volunteers from Osaka cooked up some Kansai.

Balefire: May 2012
http://balefires.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Mostly irreverent, often cynical, occasionally serious comments on whatever raises my eyebrow- or my ire- today. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Losing to Fate and the Weather. This last Golden Week, eight climbers died in the Japan Northern Alps. It's not charitable to say so, but to me that's gambling with Fate without sufficiently understanding the rules of the game. I've written about this kind of thing before. I'd really like, for a change, to start hearing more stories about climbing groups whose "just in ...

Japan without the sugar: Wikileaks leaks on Japan
http://japanlost.blogspot.com/2010/12/wikileaks-leaks-on-japan.html
Japan without the sugar. There ain't no samurai, there are few geisha, Japanese are not the most polite people in the world. In practice, there is no special love or care for nature, nor is Japan uniquely unique. Sorry, but the sugar-coated fantasyland-Japan of Edwin O. Reischauer et al does not exist- if it ever did. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Wikileaks leaks on Japan. N (Reporting on Wikileaks). PS Will the SDF need the Dutch military to protect them during the rescue operations? Thanks for the link.

balefire's heat
Ramblings from a mind scorched by time. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. This year is my reset button. Reconfigure, reevaluate, revision. If it comes down to it i'll even. Reduce, reuse, recycle. But those ideas are better left to the larger world eye view. So this year i have focused on the little things. The things that make a difference. In my every day life. A good cup of coffee. A visit with a good friend. This year is my reset button. Reconfigure, reevaluate, revision. Discard those long held tensions.
