A panicky herd mentality (verse)
Dried Bread
At the time of Typhoon No. 19, I thought we would need to stockpile food.
I ordered it from a supermarket that had hardtack.
However, "We are not in a disaster situation right now, so we have not left it there."
The answer came back. --Isn't that strange?
We should put hard work aside in times of peace and prepare for disasters.
When a disaster occurs, there is a herd mentality and panic.
Come to think of it, during the Great East Japan Earthquake,
Enelope (a dry cell battery that can be recharged over 1,000 times) from a home electronics retailer
It was completely sold out.
During a disaster, electricity is usually cut off.
Wouldn't a regular battery be more practical than an enelope?
This is likely a panicky herd mentality.

群集心理(韻文)
備蓄食も必要だろうと、台風19号のとき
乾パンを置いていたスーパーに注文した。
ところが「今は災害時ではないので置いていない」
との回答が返ってきた。――それ、変じゃない?
平時にこそ乾パンを置いて、災害に備えるべきに。
災害が起きれば群集心理でパニックだ。
そういえば、東日本大震災のとき、
家電量販店のエネロープ(千回以上充電可能な乾電池)が
きれいさっぱり売り切れていた。
災害時には、だいたい電気は停電するのだから
エネロープより普通の電池が実用的ではないか。
これらは、パニック状態の群集心理だろう。

The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas the trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose and they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south oh I feel like an alien a stranger in an alien place

Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches
"Oh, they are so good!" said Ava, biting hungrily into these Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches, as we were having a picnic on Cheltenham Beach in Devonport. "I can't believe you put so much flavour into something you whipped up so quickly!" I was more than a little bit chuffed, but I must say, they are really good, especially if you intend to eat them on a beach! Happy Saturday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
3 heaped tablespoons sour cream or crème fraîche
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 large Green Onion
4 large slices Wholemeal Loaf
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
abou4t 60 grams/2 ounces Smoked Salmon
Spoon sour cream into a small bowl.
Add dried tarragon and black pepper, and give a good stir until well-blended.
Finely chop Green Onion, and stir into the cream mixture. Place in the refrigerator, at least half an hour.
Toast Wholemeal Loaf, and allow to cool completely.
Generously spread Green Onion and tarragon cream onto two of the toasted Wholemeal Loaf slices, and butter on the two others.
Lay Smoked Salmon onto the buttered Wholemeal Loaf slices, and close sandwiches together. Keep in the refrigerator until serving time.
Cut Smoked Salmon and Green Onion Sandwiches in halves, and wrap in cling film if bringing on a picnic!
