For some reason it seems that I have been attracting cats these days. When we were in Numazu, everywhere I looked there was another cat just giving me the evil eye. I didn't like it.
This past Saturday I grabbed some bread and cheese, and a Spaten Optimator. I found a local part in downtown Nagoya and had myself and mighty fine little picnic while I waited for the girl to get done with clubs and make her way into Nagoya. I noticed I made a new friend.
This black cat stared at me for a long time before finally getting brave enough to sneak up and steal some cheese. No sooner had he left, than a flock of pigeons came in and took his place! I was beginning to think that I was in a bad Hitchcock movie, but the birds left and started pestering some other poor sap.
All in all, the Optimator was good and the serenity of the park was appreciated. I must say that one of the things that Japan does well, is parks. Of course, I had already drank a Kinshachi Imperial Chocolate Weizen (9%), so maybe I was just in an extra good mood.

I remember that old cat with the one leg about 7 times longer than the other!
Optimator is 7.2% good.
lovely beer, but drink a few pints and she'll sneak up on you in her silky smooth way and kiss you goodnight, so take care.
It used to be 950 a pint in the German Farm Grill, Shibuya, back before they tried to make it more into a posh German restaurant and charged 500yen cover and set every table with plates and cutlery. Ruined the place. They (Zato Trading) are the guys that bring in Spaaten helles (lovely), Franziskaner (lovely), Spaaten (lovely and al same company) and some other German beers and are one of the main guys at the Japan Oktoberfests. Now way overpriced and the best choice are the Japanese craft brews, anyway.
I'm halfway thru a Sculpin IPA and am high on beer and hops and life, life, life!
Off out soon, on a desperate (3,000yen budget) attempt to get sloshed.
Winter Solstice/Christmas Day(?) and Only 3 years till the end of the world!

What better reasons to have a brew?
Cheers!
Kampai!
Iechyd da!
Kampachi!!!!!
Cats are evil and need to be eliminated.
Unless they come in the brewery and kill the mice, that is.
Dogs are just drooling fun. Cats have something in mind when they look at you. Scary.
Agreed about the cats being evil, and about cats in Numazu, and about KAMPACHI!
Chuwy what was that foreign language, klingon?
Something like that.
From the land if my fathers, where men are men and sheep are nervous.
You gotta teach me some!
To make sheep nervous?
Keep your back straight, eyes on target and approach your sheep with unwavering confidence. And don't take no for an answer.
Flowers may help to ease the tension. Or anything else edible.
I meant the language!!!!!!!!
Learnin da Wales language.
