Looks great.
Nice that there's a proper mobile version too. Works like a charm.

In an effort to support the industry, I get a new board each year. If I also get some enjoyment out of that, it's an extra.
Ahem.

Listening me to some Korn this evening.

Quote:the current situation has reached a reasonable safety level for international travelers.
So..... it hadn't reached a reasonable safety level for international travelers before now?
Hmmmm. -

No thanks. I'll just get out there and ride.

Days over 30 near the coast don't happen often. The far NE of the island from Kushiro up to Shiretoko have very cool summers. The cold current off the coast there produces a lot of fog and daytime highs even in the height of summer can often only be in the high teens to low 20's. Southern parts of the island can get periods of pretty high humidity but such periods don't usually last too long. Couple of weeks at most, normally less.
Last summer was for us hot though being the warmest on record. Still pretty tame compared to down south but as most houses here don't have aircon it was a bit uncomfortable.
High teens to lower 20's in mid summer. Sounds just about right that does. -
Awesome

Will do.
Our 12 nights / 6 people will go somewhere else.

Just saying what's on the news just now that UK people are listening to, so don't jump down my throat.
Who really cares what's being reported in the UK? I know I don't. And I know the UK skiing market to Japan is so damed small that it won't matter one little bit if every pom stayed on their little island next winter.
I was considering staying at your place.
I won't now... will inform friends too.
Bad move that smiley just cost you a chunk of change.

It has been increasing today. Why would rain account for that, can you explain? Is that what they are saying? -
Cool. They sure look great anyway. Thanks for sharing them always.

I have noticed more helmets being worn by Japanese and their children in particular on my few times out recently.
-
Just excellent.
I don't know how you get your photos so glossy and sharp, they look incredible. I think these are your best yet.
Looks like someone rode down here:
wow

You live in a busy tourist area Chriselle?

Interesting, never heard of it so look forward to hearing more.
Thanks snowdude.

I feel like we are told the world economy is on the edge of a cliff about twice a week these last few months.
Can someone tell me when it really happens, it's getting boring.........
