2006 November 18 Saturday.
There's a new kid in town. New to Kagura that is. It's my new neighbor NORTH PACIFIC BANK 北洋銀行. Nice to meet ya. How's it goin', eh? The official opening ceremony will be on Monday, November 20. The new bank was even nice enough to put a one page, three color NOTICE in my door's mail slot, asking me to please move my van out of the parking lot for their big opening day ceremony which will start at 08:30 and end at about 10:00. OK guys, I'll move my HOTEL NOAH over to another parking area, in front of the big building. But I'll be back, shortly thereafter. Wait a minute! Now that the bank is here, they have taken a good portion of the parking area for their very own customer parking which means, there is less parking for us folks who live right next door. Damn! Unless,...... I go and open a brand new bank account there, about 1000 yen should get me in the door, then I too will be a customer of North Pacific Bank. If I too am a customer, then I can park in the customers only parking area of this parking lot. Right? Makes sense to me. If I ever get a notice on my windshield that says, "This area is for customer parking only", I can take the notice into the bank with me, show it to the manager along with my bank account book, and see what happens next. After all, we must play THE GAME by THE RULES.
