One reason I like my house is because it has good ventilation.

As long as there's a nice breeze, I don't have to rely on a fan to keep me cool.

I can take down my futon from the windowsill, place my cushion near the open window, and enjoy the cool breeze of the evening.

According to my page-a-day calendar, it's June, 1983 today.

While it was still June, it seemed like summer skipped the rainy season and was already coming around the corner.

...This was very abnormal, apparently.

Even if it was abnormal weather that only comes around once in a hundred years, if it was supposed to come in June of 1983, then it wasn't so much of a big deal.

It was inevitable.

On the other hand, the sudden evening shower on the way home from school was more unpredictable than anything else.

Every day had been in perfect harmony, as if it was all carefully planned.

I felt like something good was going to happen this year.

...How should I put it...

It's like the feeling I get when I roll a six on the first throw of a board game and start off with a huge lead.

When it comes to a die, the more you roll it, the more the total averages out.

We actually roll a die many times every day of our lives.

So, it's not like one stroke of luck is really a big deal to be overly happy with.

...If I roll a six on my first throw and a one on the next throw, the total is seven.

If you believe in fate, you might say there's a higher possibility of a one to come up on the die.

But you can never actually tell what number you will roll.

That's what fate is all about.

...You might roll a six again.

The chance of rolling a six twice in a row is one out of thirty-six... but if you look at each throw one by one, there's only a one-sixth chance of that miracle.

The glass wind chime Satoko put up yesterday was making a refreshing sound...
