(scowls) Isn't that smack in the middle of the hypothetical rainy season in the Maghreb? Sounds icky. (This from my mild experience with the northern edge of the Sahara.)
You just want to call yourself a privateer. While on a motorcycle. That does sound kind of cool though.
Shinto seems content to have moved its presumably-formerly-seasonal New Year to the calendar year, and I'm all good with that. Fall has *never* felt like the end of the year to me, Samhain notwithstanding. Then again, the drunk problem in Japan may be lessened by Shinto and Buddhism, because everybody wants to get to the shrine bright and early on New Year's morning. They're probably drunk on the trains though. Mmm, drunks on trains. At least they're not being drunks on trains during commute hour. Despite being something of a baseball fan, I HATED it when drunk so-called fans would be chugging beer and hollering and turning thei radios up to hear the game on my damn commute home. If you're a real damn fan, get there when the game starts!
