Apparently round here all that is available, if at all, is Aomori rice. But yeah in short supply.

I think Arnie is talking about a wider area of rice - Niigata, Yamagata and further afield.

Cloudier here today and hotter too.

Oops, looks like I forgot this

But surely it MUST be great --- the Olympics are being held there!!!!!!!!!

They should make mud that doesn't fall apart so easily!

Do those Angry Birds have names btw? For some reason we were talking about that last night over some beers. Don't ask how it got onto that!

Xmas is never guaranteed unfortunately. Is it at your alternative?

It was early October before skis and boards started popping up in the stores around here.

Will check tomorrow, thanks. Happy moving!

Wonder if it's a (religious?) tradition from long ago just carrying on...

Tepco: The Dark Empire sounds interesting!

Sunny and 30 degrees today here.

Car companies busy in Niigata right now with a backlog of flooded or part-flooded cars.

That sounds like fun! I'm watching some Family Guy at the moment.

Interesting I was just thinking about this..... not much steep at Kagura really is there?

I know it isnt those dudes personally, but you can only sympathise with people messed up in this. They must feel so stressed and helpless. Wouldn't be surprised to see some physical violence against someone. Where's all this leading? A look down the road in 6 month, 12 months sure would be interesting.

Yes fireworks are great. Nagaoka summer display are always the best I have seen.
