I was in Honshu recently—on a bus headed into the Kamikōchi valley when the bus driver stopped for a troop of macaque (snow monkeys) cruising down the road. Very cool. Included a little one clinging to the back of their mom. [I was in a jump seat so couldn’t get a good photo.]

Ack. I’m confused about what sort of warrant ICE can obtain given this section of Judge Young’s recent opinion which you posted yesterday >>

October 1976. North Pacific
Well, we didn’t head back to Adak when we got caught up in a storm. Rather, hove to for 3 days. Surfed down the backside of each wave. Buried the bow in the oncoming wave—which lifted the propeller out the water—ship shuddering. Rolling as much as 40°. Pretty epic.

September 1976. Adak, Alaska
I’ve been a bit distracted the past few months... This photo was taken as we sailed south from Adak Island. On the military flight from Anchorage to Adak, the Navy guy seated next to me, teased. Saying we’d be chased back into port within a day or so.

BALI 1978
I flew to Bali with the twist that by flying Sub-Lo I couldn’t fly direct to Singapore. Rather had to fly to Tokyo, change planes, fly to Hong Kong, change planes. And finally fly to Singapore. [Photo of rice harvesting in a drained field. Scanned from a slide using a borrowed Nikon.]

GUATAMALA 1977
One of my first trips overseas with friends rather than family. Two fellow Pan Am brats. Airfare for us was $70 [10% sublo fare]. Not too long after the 1976 M7.5 earthquake. [Photo of little girl from a village w/o cars.]
