Each year on the third Monday of January we observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and reflect on the work that still needs to be done for racial equality. This January 17, make the holiday more than just a day off and take time to reflect and take action on civil rights issues across the globe. ＊from google research

father “Bon-ta, why don’t you take a rest？” son ”Dad, please go back to sleep first” father ”What are you studying so hard? son ”I want to make the ultimate medicine” father “Ultimate medicine?” son ”If you take it, all illnesses will disappear from the entire world. It is such a medicine. Then, all that remains in humans is the natural death of senility.” father ”Stupid person! If you invent such a thing, Japanese pharmaceutical companies will go bankrupt!”son ”Because, there are too many medicines that do not work now.” father “Still, it is our noble mission to make medicine!” son ”Such …” father ”For example, the side effects of drugs increase the number of illnesses, which leads to the development of new drugs and the development of our business.”son ”Somehow the idea is different from mine.” father ”Instead, think about creating a drug for our company to make a profit!”
Our couple of healer/art/music friends, Frank & Michele was coming after a while. They said that from now on, sound vibration including so-called voice will be the “key” that leads all events to harmony. Also Michele had a dream suggesting this. Wonderful coincidence, more and more Orin and I are really enjoying making tones, sound, melody and music. At the same time Michele has been making “knit-bone” healing cream. One of the ingredients is “comfrey”, comfrey is known as knitbone. It has Alontin in it and helps to mend heal connective tissue and bones.
The end of 2019, after I broke my right wrist, this cream was so useful. The scars after the femur fracture surgery in February have also been cleaned up, and I am grateful to be able to use my wrist and hip. These two fractures of mine were due to a big fall on a frozen road and in the garden shortly after I moved, and I’m hoping for a cream to fix this sloppiness, well. The first thing to do is to learn how to walk on a frozen road.
Not long ago, after repairing the car, we went to a nearby state park for a test run, and the hunting ban was lifted from October to the end of December. We didn’t notice but somehow the ruts of the car are clearly appearing at the end of the road after the rain, probably not just a few cars, but rather a lot of cars coming and going. Suddenly, we heard a dry gunshot. We heard it menacingly many times, immediately we felt danger we shouldn’t be here.
While we lived Bisbee/AZ, a depopulated area on the border with Mexico, we didn’t think to have a guard dog nor self-defence gun.
Now, in our Newberg community, residents are seriously working on how to clean up gun crimes, along with employment issues, education and neighborhood environmental issues. Newburgh, which has been described as an extremely dangerous city in the United States, even they say so but it’s not so difficult for me to live.
それと、もう一つ。この日は、オリンと私がニューバーグに引っ越してちょうど２年目でもありました。
And one more thing. This day was just the second year since Orin and I moved to Newburgh.
In New Jersey, West Orange where our friend lives, said that wild Maitake mushrooms grow naturally near her house and she planned a Maitake mushroom tour. It was my first experience! we had a very good time.
