#3  One popular Tanabata custom is to write one's wishes on a piece of paper, and hang that piece of paper on a specially erected bamboo tree, in the hope that the wishes become true.

Damn! Not a bamboo tree in sight. Maybe if I hang a few of these Ben Franklins out of my car window in certain neighborhoods my wishes will come true.
