On this Sunday, I left my home at 11:00 in morning and drove westward on Tomei Super Express Highway. The traffic was so light that it might not be exaggeration to say the road was almost empty. People might be busy for preparing themselves to new year days. When I drive on Tomei, I frequently have an instant for having good view of Mt. Fuji. But it is difficult to take shots from moving vehicles. But today, I could decrease the speed of my car so that I took shots from car. But as it took a few seconds before the shutter worked, I could not get shots of the best view.

From early this morning, I started to print my new year message on new year post cards. But it took a few hours to print a few hundreds cards with the latest ink jet printer of USB connection which I purchased weeks ago. After I finished the printing of message, I have to print address of each individual. So I need more hours before posting them to my friends. I realized that printing machines are the most primitive equipments among the so-called surrounding machines of personal computers. As the government are advocating the IT age, they should sacrifice years old custom of new year post card service and should start the first step toward IT age to adopt internet new year greeting service.
