A very half-marathon race running through the autumn colors of Karuizawa! Excellent weather.
Staying at Megumi Chalet the night before (4000yen including a nice breakfast) was a good choice.
Time: 1:46:20
The best part was that Megumi, my kids Michael and Mei, and my Mom all came to cheer me on at the 12km point! Thanks cheerleaders!
No photos with me now. Need to get them off my home computer.

Powerfully told tragedy of our rape of the Lakota Indians

Assuming it is true, and it seems credible enough, this is a story that every American should not only know, but be moved to action by.
As unpatriotic it may be to give away USA land to another nation, it seems the just thing to to do to respect the original treaty and allow an autonomous Lakota/Sioux tribe to own the Black Hills once more.
Obviously, the difficulty would be what to do with the individual ownership of the land plots in that area. But responsibility for injustices of the past should not be glossed over by excuses of difficulty and inconvenience.
