Lots of good luck today... Fox wedding weather. Right as the water began to fall, my ride arrived... 3 minutes early. (2 minutes after I arrived.) I was only mildly misted before the big wet came down.

Observation about being on the bus... it was perfect today. The right temperature, smiling driver, smooth ride, and no stinky-types, either.

Well, sickies have pretty much passed me by. I'm feeling much better today than yesterday, but I'm still tanking up on tasty tea and toast with honey.

When I'm a little under the weather, it seems that my normal tunnel vision is replaced by a wider field of vision, but the focus isn't as tight. Broader view, with less fine detail. I don't know if that's good, or bad... just a self-thought.

Also, I sort of like how the ^super/_subscript looks on the fraction there.

Ugh.. I'm full of liquids, but I'm still thirsty. That's annoying.

Medieval ruins found off Atami?

These steps, archaeologists believe, may be signs of a city from the Kamakura Period.

ATAMI, Shizuoka Prefecture-Archaeologists say they may have found ruins of a submerged city from the Kamakura Period (1192-1333) off the coast of Shizuoka Prefecture.

They say numerous stone structures at depths of 20 to 50 meters unlikely occurred naturally and appear to have been made deliberately. Archaeologists pinpointed about 20 sites of interest covering a 1-square-kilometer area.

While no one is certain, historical evidence points to an ancient city having existed in this part of Sagami Bay.

Hyakurensho, a record of the Kamakura Period, describes land sinking in 1247 in what is now the southeastern part of Shizuoka Prefecture and the Izu islands.

Scuba diving instructor Hidenori Kunitsugu, 54, began his own research in 1975. He found what appeared to be steps carved from stone as well as flagstones and stone walls. The site lies between 100 meters and 1 kilometer off the coast of Atami.

"As far as I can see from photographs, these structures were not created naturally,'' said Torao Mozai, an underwater archaeologist and professor emeritus of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. "The evidence points to artificial construction.'' (IHT/Asahi: February 4,2004) (02/04)
