Alexandra “Barney” Barnaby is a race-day spotter of the Sam Hooker. Sam is a NASCAR racing driver. Barney and Sam are belong to the Stiller Racing.
They are in the last race of the season.
The result was not in success. An accident happened and the rival driver, “Spanky” Dicky Bonnano of the 69 Racing won to get the series champion. Barney has thought the 69 car had been too fast and it was cheating, running with illegal technology.
The owner of the 69 is a Mexican, Huevo motor sports. The other spotter Gobble show to Barney that the illegal technology is on the engine with radio remote control. It is the traction control of engine with a tiny chip. He said the chief engineer of the 69 was killed by the brother of the head of the Huevo Motor Sports, Ray Huevo and his killer servants. And now Gobble is the target of them.
After the race, when Barney and Sam was about to go home, Gobble telephoned to her. Gobble could escape from the Huevos to hide in the 69 motor coach. He found he was locked and couldn't open it from inside. He asked Barney to help him. Barney and Sam chased the coach and at a parking lot they stole the coach to drive the safety place.
They opened the door to rescue Gobble and used the occasion to check the 69 racing cars in the coach and inside the car. They found a naked dead man wrapped in a plastic wrap. Gobble identified the body was Oscar Huevo who is the head of the 69.
As they stole the motor coach and the trailer, they couldn't report to the police. So they made up their mind to treat the body and car by themselves. It was the start of the nightmare confusion and funny adventure novel.
They were chased with the killers and the police. They found a chip of killing technology. Ray Huevo threatened to Sam to send back the chip.
At last the bad men captured Sam and requested to Barney to exchange the chip and Sam. But the chip was eaten by the Sam's great hound, Beans. She gave a gallon of poop to them. And Barney, Suzanne ,the widow of Oscar, Felica and Rosa, Barney's friends crept into the mansion where Sam and Gobble were confined.
That's entertainment!

Are there a few place for dragonfly to rest their wing in the town?
I always see many resting on a rusted color stone in the railroad.

I've just found a song of dragonflies sang by Eddi Reader

The long term of the flower of Japanese crepe myrtle is near to its end.
And the Autumn will be complete after the flowers.

可否茶館 Kohiisakan le cafe veille

2011-09-17 21:34:04 | Asagaya(阿佐ヶ谷 高円寺)
11810009g2.jpg

This is the oldest coffee shop in Tokyo. The history is over a century.
In 1888, at Ueno a Chinese-Japanese opened the first coffee shop in Japan.
The price of a cup of coffee was 1 sen 5 rin (0.015 yen and now 450 yen).
And his grand son revived the shop at Asagaya.
But this shop has closed in this August owing to the JR-east's reconstruction program of the Asagaya station.
I've been there for almost thirty five years. I've loved the Japanese peppered coffee with honey.

This is a sign board of a curio shop. The owner has a beautiful tricolor cat.
I never visit there, because he always keep his cat on a leash. I don't like a cat with leash and hate the such owner. Cats are not things. Cats should be free.

レバーブロック lever-block

This is the new category, “tool”. This is a lever block, a tool of rachet chain hoist lift puller.
I love lever block best among the tools in the construction site. For me it shows the meaning of "tough."

(Ummm? Rachet is not an English word? The spell check underlined it....)
(According to the Merriam Webster, rachet is the variant of ratchet.)

A moment when a thing changes into a different thing suddenly comes.
Here a lamp gets into a robot which climbs the scaffolds.
