I got to spend some time with friends over the weekend up in north Miami.  The windows spoke stories of the ever changing neighborhood.  The changes that happen slowly but sneak up on you and bite you when you are not paying attention.  Special shouts go to Brian and Naya.

Brimstone127 and I went over to hook up with the Brass King at Above Ground Music Studio for a rehearsal for an upcoming gig in two weeks or so.  It was fab to hook up with the Brass King and chill in a studio surrounded by all things hip hop including wall to wall vinyl.  Good word sound vibrations for all.

Got to see some good vibes being dropped on the Wheels of Fire by Brimstone127, and hosted by the first lady of Miami Culture, Soulflower.  We had a fire pit going keeping us all warm until the vibes lifted up our collective temperatures.

I spent my first day running around the North end of Miami with my brother.  Fighting off the jet lag, I managed to get a few clicks in.

These most likely will be my last clicks before landing back in my home town of Miami.  The weather has been warming a bit and strolling about on a monday afternoon was rather nice.  So these are a few random fragments from that day.

From a brief stroll between Urayasu and Minami Gyotoku. The sun was out, and I walked on the sunny side of the street.

As I was staring out the window of the Mr. Donuts in Urayasu the other day, my eye was drawn to three signs warning people not to park bicycles there.  As I was a bit under the weather, I felt the sighs morph in front of my eyes, and I noticed that each sign had been scribbled on or altered in some way.

Three lovely blue squares just waiting to be noticed.  Hey You!!  Look at me!!

I needed to get out of the house today so I just took a stroll around the neighborhood.  The air was icy with reports of snow later tonight.  Walking around my gray neighborhood looking for what I have a look for what I haven’t really seen before.  Snap, snap, and walk walk that is what I do best.

It is cloudy and they say snow, and icy rain is on the way.  Thinking back to the long walks in summer.  To walking until my feet burn.  These are both from Yurakcho just behind Ginza.

Its cold again.  After the brief relief from the cold yesterday it returned, and tomorrow there is a chance of snow again.  Ummm, what am I going to to.  If it does snow at least it will make for some nice strolling out and about in the town.
