Getting ready for the scary Adventure

It's one thing to fantasise and vaguely plan out a grand trip such as the one I am currently planning for New Zealand. It's something else entirely to actually commit to these plans and start booking flights, hotels and so on, especially on a rather tight budget.

Even scarier is when the deadline is coming closer and nothing is close to being booked.

What if something goes wrong? What if the prices skyrocket and suddenly, I won't be able to afford something anymore?

Lots and lots of those thoughts are swirling around like this on a constant basis. As if the idea of going on a 30+ hour long flight by myself for the first time wasn't already scary enough.

And although I am still regularly stressing out over this, I manage to live and (mostly) keep a cool head.

There is still time, and my budget should suffice for at least a decent trip to visit my friend and come back home again safely.

Will natural disasters come when we forget? ~Torahiko Terada (Essay)

A giraffe pattern?

Torahiko Terada (1878-1935) was a Japanese physicist, essayist, and haiku poet.

As a physicist, he is famous for his research on the Laue group using X-ray analysis, but his true strength seems to be in shedding light on phenomena that no other physicist pays attention to. He is trying to elucidate the mechanism behind the formation of the horns in a sweet called confetti, and when the water recedes from a rice field, unique cracks can be seen on the surface of the drying rice field. He claims the skin patterns of giraffes may be based on the same mechanism.

I currently have a book called ``Science and Scientists' Stories: A Collection of Essays by Torahiko Terada'', which also includes an essay called ``Tsunami and Humans.''

In the early morning of March 3, 1933, a tsunami struck the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan, sweeping small coastal villages from side to side and washing them away, resulting in the loss of many lives and a large amount of property. took it away. A natural phenomenon similar to the so-called ``Sanriku Tsunami'' that occurred in the same area on June 15, 1896, repeated itself approximately 37 years after Manchuria.

Similar phenomena have been repeated many times, even if they remain in history. There are probably many more that have not been recorded in history. Judging from current seismology, the same thing will happen again and again.

This essay examines the process by which tsunami preparations are becoming increasingly looser. One is that the number of people who have experienced the damage is decreasing... In the quote above, 37 years makes people less prepared.

Additionally, even if people lived on high ground at the beginning of the disaster, their living areas gradually moved down to the seaside because ``they forget the heat once they get over it.''

Furthermore, even if a disaster monument is erected, it is moved to a less conspicuous location due to road construction, and fewer people read it...For these reasons, tsunami preparations have become looser.

天災は忘れた頃にやってくる？～寺田寅彦

　寺田寅彦（１８７８－１９３５）は戦前の日本の物理学者・随筆家・俳人です。

　物理学者としてはＸ線解析によるラウエ班の研究などで名高いですが、彼の真骨頂は、ほかのどの物理学者も注目しない現象に光を当てる点にあるようです。「金平糖：こんぺいとう」というお菓子の「角：つの」が出来るメカニズムを解明しようとしたり、水田から水が引く時、乾きかけた水田の表面に特有のひび割れが見られますが、これと「キリン：アフリカに生息する大型動物」の肌の模様が同じメカニズムが元になっているのでは？と

考察したり・・・

　今、手許に「科学と科学者のはなし　　寺田寅彦エッセイ集」（池内了：編・岩波少年文庫）という本がありますが、ここに「津浪と人間」というエッセイも収められています。

　昭和８年（１９３３年）３月３日の早朝に、東北日本の太平洋岸に津浪が襲来して、沿岸の小都市村落を片はしからなぎ倒し洗い流し、そうして多数の人命と多額の財物を奪い去った。明治２９年（１８９６年）６月１５日の同地方に起こったいわゆる「三陸大津浪」とほぼ同様な自然現象が、約満３７年の今日再び繰り返されたのである。

　同じような現象は、歴史に残っているだけでも、過去においてなんべんとなく繰り返されている。歴史に記録されていないものが、おそらくそれ以上に多数あったであろうと思われる。現在の地震学上から判断される限り、同じことは未来においても何度となく繰り返されるということである。

　このエッセイのなかで、津波に関する備えがだんだん緩くなっていく過程が考察されています。一つに、その被害を体験した人が少なくなっていくこと・・・前掲の引用で、３７年というタイム・スパンが備えを緩くするのですね。

　また、被害当初は高台で暮らしていても、「のど元過ぎれば熱さを忘る」でだんだん人びとの生活圏が海沿いにおりてくること。

　それから、災害の記念碑を立てたとしても、道路工事などで目立たぬところに碑が移動させられ、読む人も少なくなる・・・これらの事情で、津波への備えは緩くなっていくのですね。

Postcards from Snagglepuss

Preliminaries, preliminaries

Just be thankful in a way for the generosity of fellow Funtastics, and their finding some worthwhile schtick on Amazon.com, for some serious help with the Thanksgiving dinner for such company as Crazy Claws has set up to begin with--yours truly, Huckleberry Hound, Yakky Doodle and Chopper, Pixie and Dixie, Touché Turtle and Dum-Dum, the Hair Bear Bunch and some mystery guests, know.

Especially for the trims that manage to supplement the turkey breast dinner we're managing to pull off on Thanksgiving Day ... in particular such esoteric examples of brands you don't usually expect to find stateside, never mind the arrogance of such calling themselves "Real Americans" too dependent on a certain Wally World for their own best interests and unaware of other choices to begin with.

But at any rate, consider what the proverbial cat dragged in when it came to Thanksgiving dinner preparations: Packets of mashed potato flakes, both traditional and garlic, perhaps adding a little in the variety department for the dinner by combining the two.

Some Gravox gravy mix via Kwicky Koala, for to blend some gravy out of the pan drippings ... and just hope it comes out right.

And some Paxo stuffing mix from England, the classic sage-and-onion sort even ... who said it has to always be Stove-Top? (Not to mention at least one box of the sage-and-onion with lemon added!)

But then again, Crazy Claws was able to get some fresh turkey breasts for roasting at a local meat market in Lake Delton. No doubt beating the ordeal, if it could be called so, of having to get up early and thaw the turkey starting around breakfast time, before the parades start being on the vidiot's box even (during which time the turkey would head for the oven and our company perhaps enjoying coffee and conversation!).

But still, let's hope things don't turn out rather crazy and convoluted once the dinner comes forth....

Preparations to Move the Ark

1 And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

3 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

13 For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the Lord.

16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

18 And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.

26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart. — 1 Chronicles 15 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

Chapter 21: Preparations

The next few days were a whirlwind as Cicero prepared for our journey to Sicily. First, he met at length with Sosethius, Heraclieus and Epicrates, who would provide letters of introduction to help Cicero gain the confidence of the many Sicilians who had already submitted written testimony in the case.

An acquaintance of Cicero’s, Lucius Calpurnius Piso, cognominated Frugi, offered the services of his son to help with baggage and manage any materials or documents we collected. In exchange, Cicero agreed to help strengthen the young man’s rhetorical skills, for he wished to become an advocate. Relieved for the extra hand, he sent young Gaius Calpurnius Piso Frugi ahead to Ostia to book passage for the party to Messana.

Quintus, in the meantime, helped to arrange for accommodations and plan our itinerary. We would make a grand tour of the island, stopping in virtually every city to talk with the locals, collect evidence and recruit the many witnesses Cicero hoped would make the trip to Rome to testify.

All this would take money, however, and while Cicero’s law practice was finally earning him a small income through legacies, property gifts and in-kind payments that would not violate the senate’s membership qualifications, it did not generate enough coin to cover the expenses of such a case – which could easily reach 100,000 sesterces. Argue over it as he and Quintus did, Cicero could only see one possible source of funds.

Terentia, of course, used the request as yet another way of belittling her husband, but eventually relented, giving him an advance of 50,000 sesterces – exactly half the amount he had requested.

“We shall have to be thrifty,” he told Quintus and I after leaving her sitting room. “While I have no doubt my wife would not deny me more money if needed, I do not relish the thought of asking for it, and we will not only need to complete our tour of Sicily, but pay transportation and lodging costs for any witnesses who agree to testify for us here in Rome.”

Yet even when the final preparations for our journey had been made, Cicero slowed down not a bit, calling a final meeting of his inner council on the eve of our departure. Sitting comfortably in the triclinium after an early dinner, Cicero assigned everyone their tasks.

“I believe we are ready to depart,” Cicero said. “Tiro and I will leave at dawn for Ostia, where we will meet young Frugi and his party before setting sail for Messana. We shall endeavor to be gone no longer than seventy days, if possible, but much will depend on what we find there.”

“And while you are gone?” Servius Sulpicious asked. “What would you have us do?”

“I was coming to that, old friend,” Cicero said, nodding.

“My first task is for Quintus, who I ask to manage my campaign for the aedileship," he said, turning to his brother. "Work with the guilds, host dinners and schedule appearances at all of the largest crossroads colleges. I have always had a lot of support among the head count – especially in Subura – but now I want common citizens from one side of Rome to the other to have no other name on their lips but Cicero.”

“You can count on me, brother,” Quintus said, nodding.

“Atticus, I leave it to you to gather support among the knights,” Cicero said. “While I count many of them as clients already, I expect an even larger number of supporters among your class. Find out what is important to them that I can, as aedile, deliver, and promise it to them if it is within my power to give. I will not have the support of many plebeians or patricians, if any, so my support among the equestrian class must help carry the election.”

“I shall do what I can, of course, my dear Cicero,” Atticus responded.

“And I?” Sulpicious asked. “What would you have me do?”

“Ah, yes, Servius Sulpicious,” Cicero replied with a grin. “For you, I have perhaps the most important task. You have contacts across Rome, both highborn and lowborn. Use them – not necessarily to benefit me in the election, but instead to build anticipation and excitement around my prosecution of Verres. Assure them all of my intent to see Verres convicted and sent into exile, and promise a show such as the forum has not seen in generations! When I deliver my opening speech, I want a crowd of record numbers!”

Sulpicious laughed. “That, my friend, I can do.”

“Now, my friends, I’m afraid we must say goodnight,” Cicero said, rising. “Tiro and I leave early tomorrow, and we all have much to do before our work is done.”

“May the gods protect you both, Marcus,” Atticus said.
