3° in Tokyo

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.01.31

It's 3° outside this morning, which means it's scantly warmer indoors. We've sealed the edge of the floor where you could literally pass pieces of paper in/out of the house but otherwise we're just running up the electricity bill keeping single-pane glass and empty walls warm. Madness! I can see my breath, and can't feel my fingertips.

Mari says that home insulation was something they only began to discuss here in Japan around the time we left, last time.

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.

—Douglas Adams
