9月10日。7時起床。竹富島へは石垣島から船で10分くらい。中国人の団体と船が一緒になって、やかましいのなんの。昼前に竹富到着。僕が、竹富はもう1回行きたい、って言っていたから、今回は竹富で泊まるように妻がしてくれた。
宿は、最近できたところのようで、おじさんが一人でやってて、客は1日1組だけ泊めてくれるところ。
チェックインの時間がまだだから、宿に荷物だけ預けて、シュノーケリングセットと弁当持って、自転車で散策。
真っ白い道と、
黒い石垣、その上に猫、
赤い屋根にはキッと空を睨むシーサー、
緑と、たくさんの生き物の気配、
ぜんぶをすっぽり包む青い空と白い雲と、
全身を撫でてくれるやさしい風、
全身に刺さる強い光。
はぁ...これだよ。また来れた。
果てしなく遠浅のビーチへ。ああ、もう、どこまでも、ああ、ひろがる、ああああ（謎 で、ぽつぽつ、岩やサンゴもあって、魚もいる。今回つくづく思ったのは、シュノーケルって、楽ね、ということ。呼吸が。当たり前だけど。これまでは、海でも普通のゴーグルだけ使ってたから。
でっかいイソギンチャクぽいものを発見。そして、そこには、ニモが！ しばらく釘付け。ぶくぶくっと潜って、イソギンチャクに顔が付くくらいに近づいても、ニモ達はイソギンチャクから離れようとしなくて、もう、顔のすぐそばで、ウロウロするばかり。かわいい。
そうやって夢中でブクブクしてたら、あっという間に時間が経ってて、お弁当たべて、また泳いで、ニモ見つけて。
海からあがって、夕日の時間。近くの別のビーチで。ちょっと、雲がもやっとしてきてて、あんまり綺麗には焼けなかったけど、気持ちよかった。猫もいたし。
宿でごはん。畳の小さな座敷。とても素朴で、味もあっさりしてて、とてもおいしい。宿の主は、40～50歳くらいの、真っ黒で、ひゅっとして引き締まった感じの身体の、おじさん。柔和で気さく。
夜、ちょっと散歩。家が無いところには明かりは一切ないから、本当の真っ暗闇。懐中電灯もなるべく使わないようにして、闇にひたる。ひたーー。空が星で明るい。数え切れない星。見ているとどんどん増えて、こっちに迫ってくるような。
たくさんの、いろんな声。夜の虫、鳥、獣。聞いたことのない声ばかり。ぜんぶひとつひとつの声の主がなんなのか、ぜんぶ知りたくなった。どんな格好で鳴いてるんだろうな。なんで鳴いてるんだろう。どういう意味？ なに考えてるの？
帰りに宿の近くのバーみたいなところの、外で、ビール。
宿にもどる。あー、楽。しやわせ。寝る。

The suggestions you contributed here are extremely precious. Rrt had been such a pleasurable surprise to see that waiting for me as i woke up this very day. They are often to the point as well as simple to learn. Thank you so much for the useful ideas you’ve got shared in this article.
For Ben, it's less clear, but he could also be suffering from hypothyroidism. Weight gain, decreased appetite, muscle pain, joint pain and weakness as well as paresthesia and nerve entrapment syndromes (pins and needles) are a few of the many symptoms of hypothyroidism
SnowBella: Bear here. I have floppy ears too, which is unusual for my breed. On occasion one will stand up, which give me an interesting look.

Ben seems to have a common flu with possibly a little carpo tunnel syndrome thrown in for good measure.
Brad: Yes, I know just about all of it, particularly the unwritten notes in the opening of the Chopin sonata. Hes on safer ground with Scriabin and Schoenberg. I will admit only to you that I worshipped at the alter of Glenn Gould when I was first discovering music (about 17 years old). At the time, I didnt know any better, but I have very fond memories of him nevertheless. His Brahms is seductive, although eccentric. Very few know this side of him.
That should say, take two dollars and add two more to it.my bad 0_0
thank you please.
You have a wonderful web address, but you have only discussed 3 of his westerns. I would think that Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven (both on par with the Man With No Name trilogy) deserve their place as well.
However while serifs may not be your thing. A font with a serif has been proven to make a document easier to read as it draws the eye from one letter to the next.
Very well said, Ryan. This is exactly the point I was trying to make with the Harry Potter stuff I think it is more aptly summised in terms of Shakespeare. However, my reading of his work doesnt go much further than Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and The Tempest.
