“

I've created a set of personal criteria for judging whether something is cool or uncool. When I go to my workplace, I pass through a residential area, and there's one house where I can see the laundry drying on the balcony from the street. I don't know if the residents are young or old people, but they hang their laundry directly on the clothesline by putting the sleeves of their shirts and the legs of their pants through it. That's not something you see very often... They always wash their shoes and hang them on the balcony railing in a row. Is that cool or uncool? I judge it to be very cool! (Criteria to be continued in the next volume.)

個人的判定基準を作って「イケてるか　イケてないか？」を判断しながら生活する。
自分の仕事場に行く時、住宅地を通るのですが、道路からベランダの洗濯物が干してあるのが見えるお宅がある。住人がご年配か若い人かは知らないんだけれど、物干竿に直接、シャツのそでとか、ズボンの足を突っ込んで通して干す。あんまりやらないよなぁ……。靴を洗って、ベランダの手すりにいつも並べて干してある。これは「イケてるか　イケてない」か？　ジャッジ。『イケてる』！　（判定基準は次巻へ続く。）
