Vancouver has a steamclock. It was built to prevent homeless people from sleeping by a steam vent, and is located in a region of Vancouver named for a man called Gassy Jack. I always thought Gassy Jack refered to the clock itself, but it doesn't. It turns out, not-Gassy Jack the steamclock had a twin. That clock ended up on Hokkaido, in a city called Otaru. A city we happen to be staying in our first night on Hokkaido. The twin steamclock is actually located on a few minutes by foot from our hotel. Kishi, your attempts to kill me in a diabolical steam accident are getting more and more obvious. |

He gave up on the death by freezing plan since you obviously keep yourself topped off with anti-freeze because of your Canadian winters. |

That was a really big disappointment. I thought you were linking to the recipe for some obscure esoteric Canadian mixed drink. |

Hey, the steam-related-accidents are just placeholders, something that might happen to kill you off in the meantime before I manage to scrape together funds for that final unstoppable assassin who promises me you will be helpless before the final dagger. On that topic, could you ask Jenn if she'd be willing to work out an installment plan? |
