All Moments Simultaneous

The Committee of Unwatched Phenomena

The Bosporus presides over the land and water, over the people and events of one extended era. The Bosporus is a sense of space. It requires time. You can swim the Bosporus, you can travel it by boat, you can walk its shores; you can drink it, you can soak, steep, bathe, dive in it. You can drown in it. It is more than its waters. It is not Lake Baikal, nor the Erie Canal. It’s not the Mississippi and it’s not the Nile or the Rio Camuy. You may find its molecules in common with those of the Kanda or the Delaware and the disappearing river in Lander, Wyoming.

Eat blueberries– As of June 2008 the research on blueberries seems to confirm it’s one of those super foods you should eat whenever you can.

Food guru Michael Pollan tells us to eat “real food” and this is definitely one of them. Its taste is one of those elemental perceptions, like a primary color. There doesn’t seem to be a down side, having made the list of foods that tend to be low in pesticides: 1.

Interstices

The Inokashira-sen is a commuter railway, seventeen stations along a short stretch of western Tokyo. Each station, or eki, works like a small village with its own post office, police box and neighborhood association. Around the station you will find a lively concentration of shops and restaurants. The decor is festive, the air aromatic with grilled meats. Walk in any direction and the crush of commercial activity gives way to a maze of narrow lanes where most of Tokyo resides quietly in one-and-two story houses. Here you lose your sense of the city.
