I keep this blog for friends, family and students in Japan& the U.S.

Since Spring '07, Zen and Taka moved to California full time for Zen's basketball career. I'm in California most of the time right now too. Almost every day I go to help my Grandmom. She was born in 1919. Taka and I also get to work for Uncle Lynn's landscaping company. Santa Cruz, California. As beautiful as ever. However I still feel homesick for Japan~~

Santa Cruz Cops

I haven't been taking many photos since the kids have been gone to Montana the past week (they come back tomorrow).
But here~ I wanted to show you some of the most ominous cops. They lurk EVERYWHERE around Santa Cruz!!!


I found them hiding here, and walked back to ask them to photograph them. I told them they are SO different from Japanese police! (who just drive around with their siren lights flashing, it looks like an ego thing!!). The second photo- you can see the cop's white helmets through the windows- you can't see the street to the left. They were aiming to chase down traffic offenders, and they were macho- like those on the band Queen-those types of men!!
