soubriquet 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mogami River (最上川 Mogamigawa) is a river in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. It is 224 km long and has a watershed of 7,040 km². It is regarded as one of the three most rapid rivers of Japan (along with the Fuji River and the Kuma River). The river rises from southern Yamagata Prefecture and flows to the north, and turns into the west at Shinjō and falls into the Sea of Japan at Sakata. Water transportation once flourished on the river and carried local products such as safflowers and rice to the Kansai region. The noted Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō travelled along the river and wrote a famous haiku: 五月雨をあつめて早し最上川 Samidare o atsumete hayashi Mogamigawa The Mogami River, gathering rain of May and even more rapid Mogamigawa is also the name of the anthem of Yamagata Prefecture written by Emperor Hirohito. The Japanese Navy had a cruiser named Mogami." Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Bit of rain here early on with a high of 28 forecast. At least it is the right side of 30. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Nice here today. Aircon's off and windows are open, with a pleasant cool breeze. The only downside is there are buildings going up on two sides of us, so there's plenty of biff. When the building is finished, there will be major roadworks, so no peace until December.

soubriquet 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I've always wondered what it would be like to have an, ahem, coupling, with a female speed skater. You know, the ones with the 30" thighs. If she got her legs crossed around you, things could get very tight. Link to post Share on other sites
