Master of the 水路/Canal Continues With His Long Pole And Blue Net...

The Master has been continuously busy, going after all the garbage thrown into the canal. With his pole and blue net, he hoisted up an old TV set (that has been there for many years), bike tire, bottles and other misc. stuff. I have talked with him a few times when he was working outside of my window. He is a friendly guy. And I have been able to thank him for his efforts.

Meanwhile, Kadoma-shi workers finally came to clean and weed-whack "our side" of the canal. They missed a few small weeds and the dirt (that accumulates when the canal floods) where certainly new weeds will spring up.
