Awesome series and I'm glad the Garden is eating the Canucks alive. I wish I could be back home to see game 6

or did you mean this right to bear arms...

I just can't believe that in this day and age, Americans can defend their "right" to have guns and feel that a law that was passed in the late 18th Century, to cope with late 18th Century problems is still able to be fitted to today's situations. Of course a lot of laws are still relevant, b

I prefer Kiroro, but that's just me I can see why you would after a few days I had there last year. That place can get twice as much as Niseko. Jim, For us lucky under 25 Snowbird is only $440 Brighton is the same as well. I would consider Brighton to be much like Niseko but with much bigger cliffs. Alta is a bit overpriced but t

The only bad hit was when Rome hit Horton and intentionally went to injure him. That was pretty messed up. Makes me wonder if anything was planned since they sent a shitty player like Rome to hit an actual good player. In fact Vancouver has shown terrib

Yesssss Rome cheap shots Horton...Bruins score 8 goals. Take that!

Japan Red Cross -- doing well out of doing good (and the American Red Cross does itself even prouder). Ah someone needs to come down on this type of stuff. I hate seeing people profit out of such dire circumstances for some people.

Hey young fella... No old man jokes please! I guess you missed out on the Bobby Orr Boston years eh?.. Just barely. Met him a lot of times though at Bruins games. We were fortunate to have a family friend who was a ref in the NHL so tickets were easy to come by. He's a really interesting person and knows far more about hockey than anyone I've ever heard of.

Originally Posted By: grungy-gonads How far away from that desert location are you Mitch? Nice would like to see that myself. About a 3 1/2 hour drive.

no way, where is that? I've never scubad but I would like to!

So we went biking in the desert. This is your stereotypical road runner running through the red sand cacti-infested desert. Luckily in this time of year it's pretty mellow temperature wise and the sun isn't too much to bear. Left the snow at home for the weekend and still in Utah got some great biking in. The terrain in Green River, Utah is very similar to big mountain skiing. It is a clay-ish soil that allows your tires to grip in so you can actually bike down STEEP fresh lines. It's scary since a lot of the riding is on spines about half a meter - a meter wide with severe consequences

I lived in Niseko last year and loved it! It's a pretty cool little community and I don't know if you do any touring at all but there are so many nice areas around Niseko to get out. Perhaps it would help to know your background but there are lots of ski instructing, restaurant, lodge/hotel service, etc. I can give you a few companies if you say what you have done for work previously.

I'm glad everything went well for you guys David. I know for a little bit there you guys were a bit shaken up from the earthquake (lame pun intended). If the move is for the better than congrats! Enjoy the new place hopefully next year I can swing by with some donuts.

Louis Garneau is like Gary Fisher, they mostly make XC bikes for all walks of life. If I get my bike to Japan ever we will have to do some riding!

My grandfather had alzheimer disease and it was very hard to see him when he didn't know who I was. I spent my entire childhood from 4-12 there.

Looks like we will be able to this year but no 20 M isn't common. Usually it is like 15 or so. Crazy wet weather all over the US CRAZY!

Looks like July will be open, Snowbird has had almost 20 meters of snow so far this year and it still is falling! If anyone wants to add some extra days come on out here.

I really need to invest in a road bike like that to get around.
