Take A Break From All The News, Go Outside, And Start Catching Leaves

[hawkeye08]

Just had two trees cut down today, fewer leaves to worry about, fewer branches to worry about falling on shop or house.

I've never done any leaf catching. However, as a teenager one of my martial arts teachers taught me to practice iaijustsu (drawing and cutting with a Japanese sword) and kenjutsu (fighting with a Japanese sword) accuracy skills by using the falling leaves as targets. You think it's hard to catch one with your hand, try hitting one with a sword or bokken (wooden practice sword). It's been one of my favorite Fall activities for over 30 years.

Sooo. can you do it most of the time? Enquiring minds want to know. (mainly so we can know to stay out of the reach of your katana)

Now there's a Crash I've never seen. Thanks for the reality check.

All part of the daily routine. When pain & problems get to much. sit & have a beer or 2. Have seen the space station go by & a shooting star so close it looked like it would land in a neighbors yard.
