"Oh where? Oh where has my little dog gone?.."

I don't have a dog, but someone has gone missing, or so I think.

Every time I bike to the gym I bike the same way. My way requires me to cross at a crosswalk in between the grocery store (Super Center) and the electronics store (Max Denkodo). This is my favourite cross walk because it's guarded by the most agreeable crossing guard. He always smiles, and acknowledges me when I say "hello and thank you.' in Japanese.

I have noticed recently, however, that he's not there anymore. Perhaps he's just changed shifts, or always on break when I go by, but nonetheless it's been a few days since i've seen him and I miss his friendly manner and superb traffic stopping skills. I hope he's okay.

Please come back Mr. Crossing Guard!!
