Here I have backed up all of the blogs I wrote on Multiply, over the years. They are old, and apparently the images do not get imported, but it was worth a try. Currently I cannot seem to see any posts, but in the Dashboard it says I have over 1200 posts imported here. It may take a while to get this working.

I got on the bike tonight and went out along the river for a night run. It felt soooo good to cycle in the dark and use my atrophying night vision (it's never dark in Tokyo!).
Teeny little blinker. I wish the joggers wouldn't wear all black. You'd think they were training to work with Steve on a special undercover tactical mission... But the beauty of it all is that you really really REALLY have to USE your senses: the light is dimmed so you can't see nearly as much, but if you practice, the eyes get stronger. Then you need to use your ears a lot more as well, because the ears can tell you what is coming before the eyes do. This is a point where most of us humans are getting weaker and weaker because we rely so much upon our eyes to tell us what is there. That's why I love night runs so much!
Before I did this job we used to organise what we called the Cannonball Runs, where we`d ride our motorbikes at full speed down really narrow country lanes from one end of the Island to the other with no lights on. What a buzz! On some nights we had to outrun the Pigs! Cool.
Hope you didn't run over any night loving joggers!
ReplyDeleteNo headlight on the bike?
