鴨川? 高野川?

I don’t remember if this is the Kamo or Takano River. What I do remember is that cloud scared me a bit as I was on a bike and far from home. Thunder, lightning, and heavy rain started soon after this photo. I took refuge in the nearby Demachi Masugata Shotengai. This photo happened three years and two days ago.

After 45 days in Denmark, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and London, today I’m heading back to the USA. That means loads of waiting in airports and the ability to finally get around to processing photos like this one from three years ago in Kyoto.

Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs

My fantasy baseball team hasn’t been so good of late. The main problem is this guy. After starting the season 11-1, Jake is 1-3 with only one quality start in his last six starts. He had 10 quality starts before the recent slump.
