Umbrellas and a Rice Cooker

Just thought I'd share my most recent messenger bag load. Some people like to talk about how much they can fit on their xtra-cycles or cargo bikes, I like to talk about Timbuk2's Extra Large Classic Messenger.
Yes, that's a rice cooker.
:-)

And a rainy evening with friends in Shibuya yielded this great view.(click for a closer look)

The Japanese love umbrellas almost as much as liberal college students love Frisbees. Living in the rainy North West, I always found it odd how few you see (umbrellas, not liberal college students) People just prefer a jacket and stiff upper lip I suppose.

Here umbrellas are in.

enjoy riding (or walking) this week!
