Silly Sign Took Some Research

Why Tell People This ?

If, I wanted to slow traffic down, I would have said, "Speed Bump, not Hump."

Well, I did a search and, learned something at Maine Department of Transportation.

There's speed humps and bumps. You decide, which suits the situation best.

Speed Humping Has a Different Meaning

Over at Urban Dictionary they, give some examples.  I'll just quote this one:

"Cory is such a speed humper.... we were done in like eight seconds!"

OK. One More:

"We were running super late to the fiesta so Keisha and I had to speed hump in the shower yo."

Search Continued

These internet investigations, always lead to some interesting findings.

For some strange reason, Dr. Ruth popped up, over at Washington Post.

That little granny (who's a sex expert) was also a sniper at one point in her lifetime.

So, you know, she's got to be a straight shooter.

In both situations above, I'll bet she'd just recommend "Slow Down."

8 Images of Tundra Bean Geese in Flight

Migratory Visitors to Okinawa

A scientist would call this Bean Goose, Anser serrirostris because, that's the way they talk.

These birds only come to our island for the winter months.

This morning, I was up and out of the house before the sun came up.

This pair of birds was on the ground, when I first spotted them and, they saw me coming.

Plenty of photos were taken, before they decided, to take off in flight.

The males of this species are a bit larger than the females. Look closely at the second bird.

The one that seems to be yapping at her mate. Now, let's have some fun.

Imagine her screaming at him, "What did I tell you?  That guy's gonna shoot us."

"Wait 'til your mother-in-law hears about this. You never listen to me."

She goes on and on, flapping her wings and mouth, while he says nothing.

"The old man was sneaking up on us and, you did nothing."

"Now, he's shooting us, like we're a pair of sitting ducks."

So he's thinking. "Later honey. I have to land somewhere and, take a crap.  See ya later."

FOOTNOTE: Now, everybody knows why, I'm not a scientist.

Wordless Wednesday in Kunigami

Animations: Carving of a Tuna

Off with the Head

This performance draws a large crowd every time. The chef is explaining how it's done.

They have him, wired for sound. He talks while cutting and, he moves along quickly.

Before any vegetarians start complaining, I'd like to ask a question.

What part of a carrot, do you slice off, first ?

Next, he slices and removes all the other parts of the fish, that get in his way.

In just a few minutes, the tuna is diced into little chunks and, served to the crowd.

Other things had to be done so, I had to leave after this highlight event.

One year, the tuna wasn't enough, to feed everybody so, they had to bring one more.

It's a good thing, there's plenty more fish in the ocean, is what I'm thinking.

It would be a shame, to go to a festival, where they did things different.

I'd probably be real sad if, I saw them cutting a bunch of baby carrot heads off !

A Sunny December Day and Plenty Got Done

Gimbaru Okinawa

Something, I saw at the Health Food Festival yesterday, made me go here.

This morning it was raining but, things turned out alright this afternoon.

When, I first got to the office, somebody on Facebook got me riled-up.

So, I turned the thing off, grabbed a camera and, went on a mission.

Some folks, wanted to know where they could buy Ryukyu Agu pork meats.

Other people, I'll call non-meat eaters, think, I'm an animal. I don't pick on them.

And, I don't go around, telling them, what they should or, shouldn't eat.

Poor li'l pig got killed for people, to eat. I can't recall, ever eating one alive.

Poor li'l carrots and strawberries probably, get sacrificed for vegetarians, too. So?

Kin Agu Is on the Way to that Red Rock

So, I figured it would be a good idea, to have lunch there and, do some research.

Snap a few photos, eat some healthy pork and do a Google review.

There's what I had for lunch. A dead pig hamburger, some dead rice, salad and soup.

The meal came to a grand total of 800 yen, which is less than, ten bucks.

People like to see the inside of places and, find out how roomy they might be.

So, when all other customers, were gone, I got permission, to shoot the whole joint.

The menu is in Japanese and, nothing costs over 1,000 yen. That's cheap !

People who can't read Japanese, should learn or, bring along a friend, who does.

There's a freezer stocked with meats, you can buy, to take home and cook.

The Ryukyu Agu meat, isn't stocked in regular grocery stores. But, you can buy some here.

It was past 2 PM when I left this restaurant and, I had a long hike to go on.

It would take a few hours, for me, to find these red rocks, along Okinawa's east coast.

If the ocean, wasn't visible, I'd swear someone, took these pictures in Arizona.

By the time, I got back into town, I was glad my office lights were still turned on.

At 6 PM, it gets mighty dark around here. The camera got downloaded and, I went to work.

Now, folks who want to eat Agu pork, can read my review and, get directions.

One of these days, I'll show vegetarians, where to get their food, too.

Friends and family, in my crowd, happen to be vegetarians, as well. I don't lecture them.

And, they probably know, there isn't much sense, in trying to reform me. I'm an animal.

Thank you.
