s30 - e35: the remembered treatment

Rikichi comes to the Ninjutsu Academy with an injured Totsuan Bōta. When Doi-sensei sees Totsuan being treated, he remembers the first time he met Rikichi and Yamada-sensei. At that time, Doi-sensei was also injured and was treated by Rikichi.

I lived and worked in a lighthouse at a previous job.  There was a thick line painted in a circle around the shack where the fog signal was kept.  The line represented how close you could get to the fog signal without experiencing physical harm in the form of eardrums shattering or worse.

Even in the house it was LOUD.  Probably the loudest thing I have ever experienced but at a normal, predictable interval.  You would begin to time your sentences with little pauses with the rest of the lighthouse crew so you would talk like this while making your………..HORN…………. tea and then carry on talking because you knew when it would go off.  It rattled the walls and the dishes in our cabinet.

At least one girl had died there. They kept photos of her everywhere “in honor of her sacrifice” because she had decided to take the winter watch alone and died in a storm where bounders the size of mini vans had been lifted out of the ocean and left scattered across the island, to say nothing of the ice chunks.  People weren’t allowed to be alone on the watch after that.

One day a dead moose washed up on shore and it took my entire crew all day but we managed to rig up a line to hang it up to dry because we thought having a moose skeleton in the house would really spice the living room up a bit.  It did.  Weird shit happens when six of you are left alone, like ALONE ALONE, no cell reception, no wifi, just a radio to contact the real world and not a lot of reason to do that.  People don’t go on lighthouse jobs if they want to stay connected, I’ve found.

That said Id do it all again, I really do treasure those days

you know you could’ve just said “no they don’t have wifi” and that would’ve answered the question

But then you wouldnt have known about the moose

one of the surreal things about traveling is the natural environment actually looking like artistic depictions of it

when looking at art of trees, its easy to sort of have your brain wash over them as "artistic depcitions" of trees. But then you go there, and no-- the trees there actually look like that.

this was my experience going to europe after seeing so many landscapes with european trees and foliage in them. Like the trees in europe really do look like the trees in that 17th century baroque landscape painting.

It was also my experience in virginia. You watch disney's pocahontas (1995) and those background paintings of tall trees with all the foliage on top wash over you as artistic license, and then you go to virginia, and it's like. oh, pocahontas (1995) did have exactly one (1) realistic thing in it. and it was the shape of the trees
