Chinese Zodiac to the contrary notwithstanding, 2009 just ain't this cow's year. The truck stopped beside me in traffic on the Omiya Bypass was most likely taking this load of beef on its Last Ride. I snapped a few photos, shed a tear for their mother, and when the light changed bid them a farewell with, "See you at the supermarket."
