Soho Odaiba. on an island built in Tokyo Harbour in 1850.
Soho is the name of the building, Google did not find a translation.
From another site, Odaiba means Fortress.

It looks like the door warehouse in Monsters Inc.

On first look, I thought it was a refrigerator door. Then I scrolled enough to see that was not a possibility.

Me too, sort of.

But not necessarily a door…

I thought it was a giant glas-fronted refrigerator, full of beverages, like in some futuristic super-store.

Wonderful shot… what serendipity!

It’s the perfect size for him.

Um… I don’t want to assume…

But was that comment actually meant for me, rather than Nighthawks’?

Hope you are not a rodent.
That is target fixation.

How do you do, Mr. Hawk… or may I call you Harris?

ร›h… Unless there was supposed to be an image in this comment, I’m pretty darn sure that’s the wrong caption.

I mean it’s not the caption for the image above, which looks more like a customer of the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine….

but the information I trusted most in an image search says it’s an electron microscope photo of the head of a boll weevil, taken by one Daniel Kariko.

“Spooky slice” sounds like the stage name for a rapper.

We see a lot of them in North Idaho. They nest on poles alongside some roads, we even saw a nest on the top of a fancy gate. They are gorgeous to see when they are flying!

A rare but always welcome sight for me as well.

When Cleo buries a bone, she wants it to stay buried.

None of this “Hey Cleo, guess what I found when I was mowing the back yard!” business.

Who wants a dirty old spoiled bone?

Who wants dogparents who won’t order an extra large kibble and sausage pizza with extra cheese, just because you have a filthy, 3-week-old bone you could chew?

Besides, this looks like an actual mini steam shovel.
Cleo gets to have so much fun!

I want Clara and Claude to adopt ME!

And Claude should know better than to compare her to other dogs. She might bury him if he’s not careful.

Just don’t eat any from an upstairs neighbour named Minnie Castevet.

…a couple of minutes later…
I’ve put the book by Ira Levin on hold at the library. I haven’t read it in years, and then only once.
 
From: โ€œThe General Foods Kitchens Cookbookโ€
By: The women of General Foods Kitchens
Published by: Random House, Inc.
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 59 โ€“ 1084

 
“Regal Chocolate Mousse”
 
3 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla (real, not artificial)
2 cups whipping cream (35% milk fat)

 
Combine chocolate and water in sauce-
pan. Bring to a boil over low heat,
stirring vigorously until blended. Add
sugar and salt and simmer 3 minutes,
stirring constantly. Pour slowly over
egg yolks, stirring well. Cool. Add va-
nilla. Whip the cream and fold into
the mixture. Spoon into freezing tray
of refrigerator, set control for coldest
freezing temperature, and freeze 3 to
4 hours. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
 
Notes from me:
A “freezing tray” is the ice cube tray that came with older refrigerators (this book is from1959) as near as I can tell (I’d use dessert bowls or equivalent size somethings / cover with plastic wrap before freezing).
