It's raining today here in Tokyo. The streets
are full of damp and musty blue suits and
oversized umbrellas.
As you enter shops and restaurants you might
be surprised to find a trash bin full of
mysterious clear bags -- long, translucent,
and wet. These are what I like to call 'umbrella
condoms.'
They're made from that cheap, thin
plastic
that you put your vegetables in at
the supermarket.
The idea is that you put them over
your folded
umbrella as you enter the shop or restaurant
and thus stop all that nasty water
from dripping
off your umbrella and on to the floor.
Pretty considerate, don't you think?

Really busy this week at work. It's
always
like that after the holidays.
The big site news is that I finally managed
to finish the new Baby Jack Gallery. Check it out and you'll find some pictures
from recent hunkabutta posts, the pictures
from today's post, as well as a few others
that you'll only see in the gallery.
Enjoy.

We're at the shiny end of Golden Week, the
holidays are winding down, and as usual it's
all passed much too quickly.
Tomorrow is our last holiday day and we might
go to Narita to visit Bryan and take some
pictures of the temple there, but we'll see
how we feel.
Karen's going to buy a shopping bike
tomorrow
as well. She's quite excited about
it. I
guess it'll add a lot to her mobility.
Next time you hear from me, it'll be
coming
from the office.
Let's hope tommorow is extra fun.

I'm sad to say that it's a no-go on the air
rifle mission. The pigeons are breathing
easy tonight. Makis and I tried to buy one
in Akihabara but we couldn't find one anywhere.
I don't think that they're sold in Japan.
I guess we'll have to think of something
else.
The pigeon filth has reached intolerable
heights, and I've reached the point
where
I feel that it's either 'us or them.'
It sounds intense, I know, but don't worry,
at least they haven't started talking to
me yet...
