I can not believe temperature in these days.

My cat named 'peetic' is always down on the floor because of heat.

Today I gave him an ice bag as special present,at first he was bit surprised but kept it all day long even though the ice was melted....

Just got an e-mail from my fishing buddy, Jeff, in Canada.

The Fish Cops are kind of like Game Wardens. They can confiscate your vehicle, boat and rods if you break the law - as if when you fish for trout during off season :)

So, guess who showed up when my buddy walked out the woods with 2 buckets of trout? Out-of-season trout!! Uh oh...

The cop says "Those aren't rainbows, are they?"
And Jeff says "Nope, these are my pets. I'm just taking them home after a swim."

The fish cop says "Whatcha talking about?"

4,000 people stranded in Frankfurt and Skhiphol airports,
passengers stranded
airspace shut down all over North Europe, passengers desperately trying to book trains, ferries and long haul taxis to get to their homes...and all i can think of is, will i ever be able to get to the European Seafood Exhibition next week in Brussels? And moreover, even if i get there, how on Earth will i ever get back to Japan? looking forward to the challenge.

So recession goes on and everybody wonders when the things will become normal again. Nothing seems to work anymore, the sales go down, business confidence goes down, even prices go down (at least here in Japan) and you reach new bottoms every day (just when you thought yesterday was just as deep as you could possibly go). Double dip recession is not a thing of the past anymore, all of sudden becomes a looming reality.

We have finished the year-end cleaning this afternoon.

It is not always fun to do, but after cleaning the office, it is much more refreshing than before.

I believe that we can have a fresh start next year!
