We'd planned a picnic for today, but called it off because it was raining hard the day before and then continued to rain off and on throughout the morning. We took Dr Zed to Meiji shrine instead, where he was promptly crapped on by a crow. It was bad enough that he felt he needed a new shirt, so we took him to Muji.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
