Drummers

So, I am writing for the real first time on my blog, at the begging of the good lad, Xian, and also because I am amused at the situation at hand. Oh....the situation at hand: There seems to be a battle ongoing outside of my house. See, these samurai are parading down the streets bellowing out war cries and banging rythmically on drums. prrrrrrrrrrrummmm pppppppruuuuuuuuuum something like that. Actually, it's not really a battle cry, or so I'm told (though it very much sounds like that to me). It's actually our friendly neighborhood reminder to be careful of fires. Yes folks, fires. You see, these houses have flamable tatami mats, and with all the indoor fireburning that people do around here, we must have our due drum warning. ahhhhhhhhhhh Japan...
