秋の選挙

October, 2017.
In Japan we call this month "no-god month"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannazuki

In Japan,
A sudden general election went on.
As predicted,
LDP and Abe won over opposition parties.
This means that most of Japanese satisfy current politics and situations.
That is fine.
I am not fine, by the way.

In any case, I appreciate my job and place for it.



2017年,神無月,後半。

日本は,唐突の衆院選挙,野党分裂で自民党勝利。
選挙に行った人の大部分(日本人の1/3以上?)は
今の現状に満足しているわけか。 まあそんなものか。
私は不満だが。

超,大型の台風21号が日本列島を通過。
自然災害に備えねば。

体調,いまいち。
急に寒くなったからだろう。
もう若くないわけか。

だが,月曜は仕事へ。
仕事する場所と仲間に感謝。
