Doesn't sound very open to me!

Cucumber.

Is there some good reason why that started?

The % thing is just frikking ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for the people considering that just thinking about it. What a pathetic 'guideline'.

Where abouts in Niigata you, mushibutsu?

I like demos. Often go to them at skijo showing next season stuff.

I really don't know. Just seems to be a general 'when you get old' thing to me. I want to know how to avoid it though. I'll keep away from those 'news'papers.

No, not this.

The answer right there! I can never understand why people make it more complicated than it is. I eat less, that's less calories. I get on my bike, I burn up more calories. So I lose weight. It's not rocket science.

I lose weight every spring summer simply by doing the 15-20km rides you mention and eating less.

Calories in and out. Riding on a bike won't help.....is nonsense.

Why do so many old people get so grumpy? I see this with my parents. They are decently well off, in relatively decent health, but increasingly seem to revel in grumpy negativeness. It makes me sad. And frustrated. Note to self, please try to avoid that. It's not endearing.

Why do tyres have like little 'hairs' sticking out of them?

Thanks for reminding me. If I don't do this now, I can see a panic in the last week. Will do this week.

I recall getting frustrated every year because they seem to need to go through the process every single time, and it seems to change ever year too. Let's see. A mitsumori, and I needed to send one 'pretend one' at a higher price and one at the normal price with a later date. Presumably so the guy could say he brought the cost down. Then some document that needed a frigging stamp on it (200 yen) and about 4 stamps, thi

My guess is amount of snow this season. Looks like that could be it with that list (though I would have thought perhaps Hakubas higher up?).

You'd wonder why people go.

Awesome. Would love to see huge versions of these.

I'm interested in what makes some places keep lifts there rotting and others take them down. And where do they go?

Him being in it puts me off too!
