When I first moved in to the house in Japan that I bought in 2015, a neighbor called the police because there was a suspicious foreigner there. 2 cops responded to the call, showing up and demanding to see my ID, just for being in my house. (This was 9pm at night.) (1/?)

Hiked up Mt. Iwate again today, my 4th time this year. Recently I always see the same old man near the summit. He's gotta be nearly 80. He's got really light gear if you can call it that, goes really slowly, but always summits. I think he's my hero.

I know the man who has climbed Mt. Iwate more than anyone else in modern history, probably ever. He passed 1,000 summits several years ago, so is probably over 1200 now. Meanwhile, I've summited 85 times. I'll never break 500. But I'm really enjoying all the time spent up there.

In just a decade so much has changed. The snow monsters of Zao (below) are threatened both by insects and warming temperatures, which are of course connected. I should maybe worry more about global agriculture over beauty, but can't help myself.
