I feel like Edgar Allan Poe references are pretty much mandatory where ravens are involved.And I've just received #10 e-mail asking what the word and symbols mean on the crow in my Sam Fleming-snapped profile picture. According to my friend Kuni, the crow's sign says "under construction," which makes A) sense, since it was taken outside a renovation project at Kumamoto Castle, and B) a much better kanji-tattoo than those I see most people sporting.
Thanks to everyone who's commented and sent e-mails so far. It's really nice to have RRX readers along for the trip.

Poe on a motorcycle blog rules
No doubt!
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'
Wait a minute..... Lenore, Laurel and Allan, Allen....What's going on here?
I don't know, Adam, but Poe liked his women made ethereal via tuberculosis, so I'm not keen to sign up.
I think Adam up there copy and pasted that poem.
