Hello! from Rick Cogley

My US driver's license is expired so I am getting an International Drivers License to be able to rent a car when I visit. It should be easier than this, but, I just want to say that the process at the police station in Totsuka was super simple, friendly even. 👮

I've been wearing "barefoot" shoes for jogging for a few years now, and decided to try these Xero H-Trail running sandals. Wore them this AM on a 3km jog on various surfaces, and they worked well even in the rain. The key was to not grip the toe post too much and to stay relaxed. 🏃

Had my hugo build scripts all break at once, because of some deprecations. Fortunately an easy fix. ⚙

Jogged about 13km from Totsuka to Kamakura in the Xero H-Trail sandals on Saturday early AM, then used the shower facilities at OSJ Shonan Club House before meeting A for lunch. Convenient, and they had a full range of Altra shoes! 🚿
