Chemtrails over Lake Biwa?

Salem — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 03:43:12 +0000

Yesterday during my school’s emergency drill, I looked up into the sky and saw suspiciously parallel lines being painted in the sky by several planes. They were leaving behind white smoke, but unlike normal jet contrails, these lines were lingering and, in fact, spreading across the blue sky overhead. Here’s a link to the photo [...]

I completed my longest solo ride yet this past weekend from my home town of Ikeda to Hikone in the neighboring prefecture. It was a total of about 100km. I met Salem half way after being hit just once by a car (I was able to hop off my bike before anyone or anything got [...]

No, we weren’t racing each other, but in a field of about 100 riders, Lindsey and I placed 6th and 7th, circling 150 km around Japan’s biggest lake in just 5 hours and 5 minutes! That’s an average of just under 30km/hour, giving our all in while training for the BEE 2009 Ride which departs [...]

Miso Refried Beans

Winston — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:30:29 +0000

Well, this isn’t the most complex dish as far as required materials are concerned, but this recipe can take as much as 24 hours to prepare, depending on the beans that are used. However, the payoff is wonderfull, and when combined with a whole grain carbohydrate, such as genmai or soba, it becomes a complete [...]

Taisuke has been an eager supporter of BEE for the past two years, and he wanted [...]

Darumaaaaaaaa!

Salem — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:20:51 +0000

I found this daruma at one of WE21 Japan’s recycle/reused shops in Kanagawa a few weeks ago. When I saw it sitting on the shelf I knew this head-hunter’s prize had been placed in my path for a reason–this daruma was the wish I had been working toward for the past several months. When I [...]

Forced out.

Ashley — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:39:16 +0000

I’ve had a bit more training for the cross country ride than usual this, my first week being car-less. The safety certification recently expired on my car, leaving me to dive head first into an all-biking lifestyle, ready or not. I ride to all five of my elementary schools (a different one each day) sometime [...]
