i love rice-planting season! 

a beautiful day on suo oshima 

... 

... 

and if you find some elementary kids to help, all the better... 

now, as the season is upon us, if you can, get out there and plant as much rice as possible.

i don't know what came over me, but i was temporarily infatuated with the walls of hagi, enjoy...

all the floors were covered with bodies; i think becky found her way into the washroom; tom passed out on the stairs (for a short while at least) and spills ended up at the base of them; basically, polski thought my closet was the best option 

again... 

don't ask me, it was just my house 

greatest...video...game...EVER: conducting trains (i forgot my white gloves). 

so, as promised, to those of you who have bought books already, congrats...for the other 4,000 or so books that ran on the first print, there will be a large red stamp across the Incline hike. you now own extremely rare editions of Best Loop Hikes Colorado; both a great book and now, for you fine people, a great investment. just think of the ebay value! 

and there was not so good press...
