SPent the day inside in meetings, so not too much to report.  I did manage to get a short run in in the cool mountain air. As I was running up the hill i hear these sharp loud barks. I looked around expecting to see a big (and maybe angry) dog.. instead, I saw these guys. These are Japanese deer..boxier than ours..  and they are not shy.  Instead of running away, these  guys stood their ground as if daring for me to pass..

The only other outside time of any length we got today was a brief and chilly picture outside. it was at least nice to see the sky !

I keep running into cool japonesey things here.. like this ultrasonic glass washer.. and the heated, jet spray toilets.. these guys have thought of everything  !

We gott to take  ashort dinenr break around 7.. food here is great.. as is the company..

then back into meetings until about 9:30 or 10.    took a short dip n the hot pool (and left a samstone)  then went back out to blog.. I met tw of my client friends there.

. and we talked about Japanese cartoons.. their favorite ? Bakabon !

 

ok.. i’m falling asleep in my chair.. more tomorrow !

nite all, nite sam
