I borrowed an armful of swords for my webinar this weekend. It occurred to me that I've often had occasion to transport a large quantity of cold arms from place to place over the last 30+ years - for AFS, for WLE, and for TC. It's such a frequent task that I seldom think much about how odd it might appear.
The last time I thought about it was a few years ago. I carried an armload of 3-section staffs (marginally illegal under CA nunchuk laws) across Chinatown to deliver to an anniversary banquet. I was in formal Chinese hatchet tong man attire, replete with assassin shades, and the flood of tourists parted before me like the red sea.
But today gave me pause. It made me wonder when I might be carrying armloads of swords again.
I was having a sad that only Maestro Yeti might understand.
Alas...Ronin life...
