i want to thank Inaida-san for this beautiful photo of Tokyo! i’m guessing this is sunset time? anyway, within all that concrete offers the best food in the world. i really miss it already.
hey, big north/west swell tomorrow afternoon, and another one on sunday. then another one next week. winter season is here on the north shore of oahu!
in the beginning of this year, i remember the yen/dollar rate being 75 yen/dollar. now it’s up to 85 yen/dollar. do you know what that means? the yen weakened 12% in less than a year. so if you bought 1 million US dollars a year ago, it would be worth $1,120,000 now. that’s $120,000 more or 10,261,200 yen more. i’ve been watching the currency exchange market ever since i went to japan 22 years ago. back then, the exchange rate was 140 yen/dollar. if i were a millionaire back then, i’d be a billionaire now just from the yen/dollar currency market. shucks!
and last, i might not be a millionaire, but my chickens are already saving me big money! i’ll never have to buy eggs from the supermarket again. it doesn’t get any more fresh than this. thank you pepper, peanut, and butter!
