The Blue Sky
Every day is sunny.
For exmaple, I found no clouds from horizon to horizon today. The sky was deep blue. An airship was floating in that sky. The temperature also became high. People walking outside were in short-sleeved shirts. We have such weather for more than a week.
This is a major climate change. San Francisco was a city of mist and cool air before. What happened? Did the global warming finally come?
The CEO told me the secret. It was the wind. Clouds of San Francisco are provided by the Pacific Ocean. They come here by the wind with cool air. Now, the direction of the wind has reversed. The wind comes from hot California land. He said that this happens every year in September for a few weeks. So, if you like to experience the cable car ride under sun shine, September may be the time.
After work, I had a language partner session. The writer whom I first met in late August and I have been continuing this session every week. The place was the same café’s courtyard. Nice weather made there an ideal place for a talk. Today, we talked about a difficult topic. The topic was whether or not Japan should allow immigrants. On one hand, Japan can be renovated by exposing ourselves to new people. On the other hand, those new people can divide Japanese society in pieces. We discussed some aspects of this big topic.
