A comfortable life is contingent on very narrow bands of humidity:temperature ratios. 60% humidity and 22 degrees Celsius is excellent. Crest 70% and 26 degrees and you have just bought a ticket for a mould dance.

Good morning. Setting up for breakfast. Rain here today. I was in a dour mood. Then I saw this message from Craig Mod, a writer and photography who is walking thousands of kilometres across Japan.
Day 21. A spectacular day, one of shops and people and food and trees and gentle breezes and merciful clouds. Walking as floating. Bobbing consciousness. A day where I met, finally, another Serious Walker and we sniffed each other like wild dogs and he had done Shikoku 3x in the last 4 years and was on day 36 of a current walk. Tomorrow: rest day. Only 4 days until Kyoto & this pub experiment is done.
He attached this photo of a man he met. I instantly had a smile. My mood changed.
May 19th, 2011 - This is not Irish Moss
Although thousands of miles apart, both culturally and physically, the islands of the Grenadines and the islands of Japan have a similar affinity for sea food. I grew up eating things, like sea urchin, that most Americans might find distasteful. People from the Grenadines will eat almost anything from the ocean, including sea weed. We prepare it much differently from the Japanese, however. In the Grenadines, the sea weed is boiled until it becomes a white jelly. The jelly is then blended with milk and served with alcohol, usually rum, as a cocktail called Irish Moss.
