Took a stroll around Stonewall Mine near Lake Cuyamaca. Some of the meadows are still green and most of the trees seem to be doing quite well despite the dry weather we had this spring. A forest island nearly unaffected by the 2003 Cedar Fire. Reminders of what the whole area looked like before October 2003.

Onomichi
I was exhausted after cycling for 4 hours through the scenic Onomichi Islands of Hiroshima when I decided to stop and walk around one of the small villages along the cycling path. Desperate to find a convenience store to quench my thirst, I stumbled around the small streets and alleys for a good 20 minutes before I took a breather and leaned my back against a stone wall. I looked to my left and was surprised to find a praying mantis looking straight at me. Sensing danger, it was completely still. I would have not have noticed it at all had I not stopped, as it blended in well with the mossy surface of the wall. The sun was setting, and it cast a long shadow on the mantis, making it seem all the more intimidating. Its menacing countenance coupled with its steadfast stillness reminded me of President Theodore Roosevelt's words: Speak softly and carry a big stick. In this case, claws were being wielded instead. Indeed, we all stand to learn the virtue of patience and composure.
