Osaka Steamship #2

Comments: 10

Is it rude to blog at dinner? I’m talking fish farming segueing into shark breaches of the nets to that’s where shark meat comes from (the very expensive great white variety), expensive because you’re not allowed to catch them (in Australia at least) and then a wrapping up with brief discussion of their numbers. Got the computer out because we’re going to upgrade some software here and thought it might be an idea, while we were talking about the sea, to post another steamship postcard. My host will understand.

Maybe is my poor understanding, but this one says “steamship” a lot less than the previous one :-)

I’m really enjoying this Steamship series. I’m hoping to go on a little antiquing trip while in Kyoto to find some ephemera to bring back.

And no, it’s not rude to blog at dinner, when your fellow diners are either geeks, or webloggers themselves :)

Great design for a postcard, a bit different from ” We Wish You Were Here! “.

Its interesting you mention sharks because the BBC today reported sightings of Great White sharks off the UK. Could be global warming but they may become more common than the overfished cod. Shark & chips anyone? :)

riccard0 — I showed the postcard to a friend at dinner the other night and he said the same thing. There’s water in there, though (the blue in the background; the white overlapping curves are waves).

My guess is that the card shows a scene from a story or legend where the hero makes a perilous crossing by sea but arrives safely to accomplish his mission.
