frogs and the prime minister
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
They say that frogs come out in force after big rains, and maybe that’s true. I saw these ones on the way home last night in Shimbashi, as they were protecting the wall next to a digging site. I don’t know why they were there, as they did nothing that the human crossing guards with them couldn’t.
Just up the street was this sign in front of a restaurant announcing the resignation of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda. Without looking carefully I thought it was announcing the resignation of their chef. The Prime Minister had just quit an hour before, during the moment most irking to the press: half an hour before print, with everything already laid out and checked.
