Yes.  This is a two-liter can of beer.  Behold it’s glory and bow before its majesty!

Mr. Wocher’s wife, Midori.  She made a terrific dinner of Chinese food for Barbara and Jon Collings and me.

This is cool.  A bottle of sake with a poisonous snake in it.  I drank some and it was full of snaky goodness.

The Wocher’s dog, Taffy.  In this picture, he has a little more dignity than in the other picture I took of him.

Mr. Wocher holding a beautifully colored blowfish.  In Japan, they call it a fugu.  They make very expensive sashimi out of it.  Since the fugu contains poison, the chefs must be very careful.

Mr. Wocher standing proudly in front of his prized wine collection.  I have been lucky to sample some of his wares and continue to be impressed with every new glass.
