Roads are packed!

On the way back from National Supermarket, where diplomats and ex-pats shop. We got a turkey and a nice ham there.

Great job for retired whatevers — giving out parking tickets. They are not the police.

Shinjuku East Exit.

police

Watch out for this traffic trap! They always get someone here on Yamate Dori. Usually for over-running (a certain amount of running is okay) the red light.

And here’s the turkey!

And almost winter…

2016 was a monster of a year. Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Fidel Castro, John Glenn, Harper Lee, Arnold Palmer, Prince, Gene Wilder, Nancy Reagan, Natalie Cole, Alan Rickman, Paul Kantner & Signe Anderson, George Martin, Keith Emerson, Garry Shandling, Glenn Frey… So many. So many more…

Drink a toast to these departed.
