ハワイから日本に移り住んで早や１年。。。
私も、そろそろ、そのようなモダンなものを使いたくなりました（笑）

今日は、海さんとサムさんに付き添ってもらって、
機種変更のための調査に出かけました（笑！笑！）

藤沢駅近くのお店の前で。

After I got married in Hawaii my wife and I moved to Japan. For the first year or so we had an apartment in Tokyo but our dive store was in the Kanagawa prefecture in the city of Hadano. Hadano is in the country and I always thought it was in a very beautiful spot. The mountains were close and I short 30 minute drive and you could be at the ocean. For a little over a year my wife and I would drive to and from work back to Tokyo and when it was just me I would take the train. My wife hates the train but Japan was the first place I ever road a train so I really enjoy riding trains.
We rented a very small house after about a year. It was in a group of about 4 houses on the edge of a giant rice field! It was a very old and simple house. In the winter it would be so cold in the house you could probably go outside and be warmer! The worst part of the house was that in the spring, summer and fall there were huge spiders that came in from the fields. I hate spiders! One time at night while I was sleeping one went across my face and I screamed like a little girl!! I refused to sleep there and instead slept on the floor of the dive store!
I have many wonderful memories of my time there and if I ever become a rich man I will spend at least half of the year in Hawaii and the other half in the Izu Penninsula!

銀行から毎月末届く報告書に心当たりの無いサービスチャージが記入されていたので、銀行に出向き尋ねてみると、「当銀行から発行しているdebit cardを毎月１０回以上使用しないとサービスチャージされます。６月にお手紙でお知らせしました」。知らせを見逃した私の手落ちとはいえ、世の中厳しくなったものです。以後、サービスチャージを避けんと、買い物に行くと、これまで滅多に使わずまだピカピカのdebit cardを使用しています。

ところが、時を同じくして「コンピューターハッカーによるIdentity theftを避けるにはカードを使わないのが一番」との記事が目に留まりました。

カードを使わなければお金がかかり、カードを使えばIdentity theftの犠牲になる危険性あり。

こういった状況をピッタリ言い当てる４字熟語が思い浮かびません。どなたかご存知ですか？

ちなみに、WikipediaでIdentity theftの日本語訳を調べてみましたら、「なりすまし」とありました。広辞苑で「詐称」を引いてみましたら、例として「経歴詐称」とありましたので、詐称は盗難の犠牲を意味してはいないようです。

今日の藤沢市は曇り。
早朝ミーティングのあと、すぐに善行から大庭方面へ歩いて行きました。

大庭城址公園（おおばじょうし　こうえん）の写真です。
昔はお城があったそうですが、今は建物はありません。

森の草木は、雨に潤い、
小路には、秋の枯葉が舞い落ち
歩く者は少なく、空気は美味しく
素晴らしい半日でした。

On September 19th, the Japanese boy band Arashi officially arrived in Hawaii. This extremely popular musical group in Japan came to Hawaii to hold two concerts. Officially, the group celebrated its 15 year anniversary by returning to Hawaii. Hawaii is where the group was formed in September of 1999 before releasing their debut album in November 1999. An estimated 15,000 Japanese people came to Hawaii to see the performance. Profits are expected to be in the millions. Interestingly, the whole thing was a complete surprise to those living in Hawaii who knew nothing about the band until the week of the concert. Most people were shocked when hotels were sold out all week due to the concert. In fact, a friend of mine that visited from the mainland that week had to change hotels everyday due to the sudden influx of Arashi fans from Japan.
