Imagine a spooky laugh as you read this entry, gentle readers. Why is that? Well, because it's Friday the Thirteenth, of course! Welcome to this rare[*] day of misfortune and horror!
I see can you all shaking in your boots, dear friends! Which, come to think of it, is rather impressive.. given that (a) I am in Japan, more than five thousand miles away from anybody on my f-list, and (b) many of you may not even be wearing boots right now. Yeah, I'm just that good.
But wait! Don't jump off that cliff in despair! This, too, shall pass! I have seen a light at the end of the tunnel! Really, I have!
Hurm. On second thought, maybe that was just when I was driving out of the Kamioka mine at the end of my shift this afternoon.
In any case, here is a photograph, taken yesterday afternoon, to brighten your Dark & SpookyTM day! This was shot just outside of the area that sits atop the Super-Kamiokande detector. Take a look at what controls are located in the case behind me:

"What's that?" you say. You cannot read the label? Here, take a closer look:

A light in the DOOOOOOOOOOM!
Surely there's nothing quite like a light in the DOOM to bring a ray of photons into your day!
[*] Okay, maybe not so rare. Last one was in January and the next will be in July.
