Readers are clamoring to know:
"What was up with yesterday's post. It seemed a little... sad.
You said:
"People.
People are full of an infinite possibility.
But mostly, they don't."
It was about the new bakery, wasn't it?"
Maybe, a little.
It's just, down the street, straight down, a Japanese French bakery was preparing to open.
There are a lot of bakeries in this town. And I like some of them, and like them as a whole even better. But I would not describe them as, er, very creative.
Joni Mitchell's line regularly comes to mind here "Old and cold and settled in its ways."
But a Japanese French Boulangerie?
Interesting.
Will we see some of the creative fliers we stumbled upon in Kyoto as tiny businesses dared to experiment? I don't know. For weeks I peered through the paper covering their windows as they readied their place. I could see little.
Then their paper came down. Opening was within days. The first thrilling clues arrived!
A bakery case full of cans of sprite.
Oh, and a mundane drinks menu board with a Matcha Latte listed on it.
Thank god, now I have a 200th place in town to get a matcha latte. And for only 50 cents more than all the other places.
Sure, maybe you come here to dream at the wonders of the adventurous life in a glamorous foreign city. More power to you.
But no light without shadows, eh?

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
