In spite of hard rain, I must go to the post office.
After the post office I drop into a hamburger restaurant, Village Vangard which is next door to the post office.

Everybody watches whether the junior highschool boys could succeed to stand up their five stages piramid or not.
15 years ago they succeeded it, but over-care movement of the end of the century made deans to forbidden this exhibition. Today, the tradition rivives. A boy on the top gets the "guts pose" and the audience makes a great applause.

I found a dragonfly on a pipe of a vegitable field. Around here there rest vegitable field among houses. Nerima-ku has ever been a farming area of Tokyo. Now it changes the residential district.
Thirty years ago, I could easily walk among the cabbage fields without flying batterfly owing to pest-killer. Now, I can hardly find cabbage field but can easily take pictures of insects. Happily and luckily we have never have a silent spring.

A farmer make crawling the Goya on the hedge around his vegitable field.
Goya is a kind of cucumber. Its name has never been known in Japan except Okinawa(沖縄) where they always have. It is too bitter to eat. But it is good for health. We have a knowlege ,now, about cooking this vegitable.
These years I have been found this vegitable on the walls or hedges of town houses in Tokyo.
