Today was ridiculously hot in the city. I had to run a number of errands, mostly to do with getting some of her nephew's shinto "new baby" ceremony photos sent to her family. My day started with a flat tire, though, so I had to pop by the bike shop for a new spare tube after I'd used my spare replacing the flat (figures that I'd have to do so in sweltering heat). The fellow at the bike shop told me that it was 36C (before "humidex") and a new record.

We went to the office -- which was open for the event -- and watched fireworks. I got some pics.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
