An irony concerning a man accused of killing his girlfriend and who was recently released after paying the bail is that the judge considers the chances of his 'running' unlikely (I think cited reasons were like he is too well known, easily recognizable for his physical particularity and so on). He is or was known for his ability to run fast and now he is considered as not being able to run (skipping the bail). Now this makes him look cr*ppl*d NOT physically but socially. This is an irony.
This also reminded me of an incident (at that time I was living in California, USA!) concerning a retired American football player accused of killing his ex-wife who made a spectacular slow run in his white Ford Bronco on a freeway. I don't know his athletic achievements at all since I am not a American football fan. The judge was Lance Itoh and the prosecutor was Marsha Clark(????). I can also vaguely remember the names of other attorneys.
Why should a failed relationship end in violence? And the victim of this kind of violence has been most likely the weaker sex up to recently. In the era of same sex marriage, the weaker sex has become an obsolete idea, maybe.
This also reminds me of a much wiser man (Rod Stewart) who once said (regarding a divorce process) something like that he should just find some woman he hated and give her a big house as this would be much easier in terms of the emotional distress involved.
Anyway, this is not what I wanted to write about.

Paris-Nice is just around the corner. I will most like to use the TGV to get there (Houilles near Paris). I will not bring my bike with me although I want to do so.
Maybe I should take my car to get there.
In Japanese:
さて、パリ・ニースの初日のプロローグが近づいてきました。天気予報ですが、こんな感じです。

悪く無いです。ただし、天気予報がまったくと言って良いほど信用できないと云う点が問題なのですが（笑）。
車でも行けそうです。しかも気温10度というのは暖かい（この時期では）くらいです。TGVのチケット予約・購入はもう一日待ちましょう。
