Who spends a good deal of time here, but who is originally from Japan, often brings back little treats when he returns from visitng his home office or his family.

Often, they are little spongy cakes shaped like domo-kun, or hard candies that taste like green tea, which are both amusing and nice.

This last trip, he brought back some red ginseng gummy candies, which are supposed to be very nice and extremely healthy. Apparently they are very popular in Japan Korea and China.

Not so much among Americans, of course, because they smell like moldy dirt, and taste pretty much like you’d expect moldy dirt tastes.

The bag is still mostly untouched after two weeks.

But here’s my contribution to Weer’ds world:

The backhoe. Two great big holes in something mean, in a great big hurry.

in the summer you will be able to posess an automatic knife.

Now, of course, it is illegal to own one now, and I certainly would never do so. But when and if I can, it will be one of these.

I have never been a big fan of “Tactical” style knives, the old traditional stuff is what I enjoy, and this is a pretty traditional type of knife. The italian stuff ios very nice, and I like the leverlock for the way I carry; flipping the leverlock means it can’t be accidentally discharged. Other people carry differently so different knives are better suited to their style.

If I can ever afford one, I will buy a Huburtus, which are very nice indeed, or a Puma.

For my Hoosier readers, when this comes through, what will you buy to carry?
