  So my idea about the sign was stupid. Yeah I'm a really stupid guy. T_T
  :P
  
  But that pine tree is really amazing. I would had never expected such a small tree to be so old. And really, I think the tourists would like to go and touch that tree from closer. Some might take a branch from the tree as souvenir. Well but a sign would not stop them doing so. So I guess it's stupid idea indeed.
  
  The exact tire that I used on that icy road, was: HS 396 Schwalbe marathon winter.
  It was still a bit scary to ride because the ice is uneven. But I rode all the way and did not fall even once. Though because it had been a half or more year since I rode on such conditions. It was I was a bit scared. There were some little deeper tire tracks in ice, it was scary when bicycle side a bit to that track.. even though those tracks were so shallow... And also if there's lose snow on top ice.. It's scary too.
  
  I haven't figured out why my front axle got lose. Maybe I had not tightened it correctly. But I don't like the idea of me being wrong.
  
  I figured out that my led light was is interfering with wireless bicycle computer. I thought it's because cold weather, but it seems that when the led light warms up.. it starts to emit some radio waves that interfere the computers reception from sensors.(heart rate and speed sensor)

  The sign really doesn't say anything stupid. It says "this pine tree was planted by Iemitsu Tokugawa himself, the third Shogun of the Edo period".  So, the pine tree must be nearly 400 years old! ^_^

  

  Amazing weather change!  Did you bike on that icy road!? What kind of tire do you wear?  You can easily change the tires of your bike right? I remember you had some problem in the front wheel axis or something. Did you solve the issue?

  Have a nice day! ^_^

  Good photos, very nice. What does the bird house like looking sign on top of the stick at second photo says? Something like "Walking on grass is not permitted" Or not siting to the rock to take selfies, or something? ^_^
  
  We had some winter for a week or two here. But now it's summer again.. no not summer. It was only 2 degrees today and yesterday, but there was +8 C other day too.
  
  The same road yesterday:
  
  Yesterday morning I changed my bicycle tires back to "summer" tires, although it will get cold again in the end of this week. And then I might need to change them again.

  I'm late, half of the autumn anime season is already gone, but I haven't said anything of my likes or dislikes.
  
  Well first. The second season of "Bungou Stray Dogs" Isn't funny. While the first season was tragicomedy with a lot of funny moments. The second season has been different. Maybe there has been only one nice moment.. Not sure.
  
  I like "Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru" It's nice anime. Everyone.. all the brothers get along well and play and train nicely together. Although sometime they have missions too, but usually I can relax and don't have to worry someone getting hurt. Well at least so far. :D
  
  I like also "Classicaloid" Nanbaka", "Tricksters: Edogava Rampo........", "Stella no Mahou". And.... few others.
  
  I stopped watching "Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans 2" And "Shuumatsu no Izetta" after first few episodes. Not because they wasn't good. They were good, but I couln't manage that many animes. So I stopped watching those.. I dropped some others also, but don't remember what they were called. I need to use my time better and not becoming total neet only watching anime all the time. ^_^

  Not much autumn foliage here too. It was too windy and a bit rain last week. So that some trees that change first got stripped to bare already.. others have lost some leaves and some looked quite greenish too.
  
  Well I'm not believing that superstition too. We had a black cat a long time ago. She was good cat. Catching mice and rats. Even some white weasel.. few times. Only thing, is that she brought them to my bed.. Ate there and left the buttock part and guts to there.. Well we managed to teach her not to do so.. I think, but sometime I still found some at my bed.. The creepiest was when I woke up at morning and I guess it was winter the room was really cold at morning.. I was looking for my wool socks that had to be somewhere in bed.. then I found them.. gray colored. Felt so smooth soft on my hand, warm too since they were got into the cap between two beds that were side by side and I guess I had slept on top of them.. Then when I was putting them on.. looking for the opening to stick my feet into. I realized it's not sock that I'm holding in my hand.. It's a dead rat. Well I guess that woke me really up.
  
  But it turns out, that there was 2 black cat crossing my way yesterday.. 2 times. So if one cat can't do anything, then may 2 can? I think it's very common cats crossing your way. That's why such silly superstition.
  
  But I can't find reason why my front wheel got lose. It's very disturbing. I checked everything but it looked all okay.. I could only think 2 reasons. I had put crease to the thread of the axle.. To prevent corrosion and wear. I guess that was wrong of me. And also bad shaking road. And maybe the temperature fast drop too, when bringing bicycle out from warm room.. ^_^
  Or maybe the wheel wasn't seated properly.. and then when it went into correct place it became lose..

  There has been a lot of rainy days in my place, so I'm afraid that autumn foliage this year might not be as beautiful as usual.... 
  
  Hope you guys have a chance to enjoy beautiful foliage! (^_^)v
