Ready For Harvest

Today I confirmed that was really a BARLEY field. I also estimated the area using pace count. It was approximately 27x27 metres -- that means some 800 square metres.

The strange thing is, though I pass by this place at least twice a week, I had never seen anyone working in the field. Barley seems to come up, grow and one day disappear just automatically.

Farewell, Sweet Sweeper

This week I have been working on clean up my house. At least I have succeeded to organize our 'cleaning locker,' but not so successful at organizing my papers. Somehow the most essential documents are very uncooperative to be filed!
Anyway, I made arrangements to discard some old home electronics (including a vacuum cleaner), and now planning to recycle a full length mirror and a small low table. Haven't I made some progress?

A Phantom Crop Circle

Near my apartment, and in very unbecoming place, there is a small barley (or wheat? I cannot tell) field. In April, when the barley leaves are all green and shining, I always have the itch to make a tiny crop circle of my own -- but I don't know HOW.

Dog Whistle

Yes, this was a dog whistle, which is used not only for training dogs but also for signaling to dolphins during a show.

It is supposed to create sound around 20,000Hz, but somehow I can hear that high pitched tone during dolphin shows. Maybe I am not hearing the 'ultrasonic' sound itself, but low frequency noise produced by breathing.

On the other hand, my father was working at a labo and one day, when he entered a room in which an ultrasound mouse repeller was ON, he immediately responded like "What is this noise?" So it might be something runs in our blood.

Can anyone hear a dog whistle or am i the only one?
