Wanna spend my 20,000th post in a meaningful way.
Maybe a hardy YEEHAW when we wrap up a SC win in early Oct?!
Be cool if it was indeed 50 yrs from the day the Canucks got officially rollin'...

i disparaged anson carter's suggestion
that his lack of a nuck renewal contract
was based on race issues
(so was on race, but not really in line with the race protests)

we've been good, the wife and I have been doing great, we love spending time together so for us its been good actually. Our big worry is her parents who are both in high risk groups.
I wanted to ask - are there good skiing ares near Osaka? we want to go for another trip to Japan once the world settles down but want to make it a winter ski trip this time. Last time we did Tokyo which was great but we'd like to see more of the country this time.

Yes..also concerned for my wife's folks. This whole global-sh**show has sure made people look hard at what's important in life, hasn't it?
Skiing? Still haven't been in Japan..heck 1990 was my last experience! I heard Biwa Valley is alright. But this Kansai Area(perhaps comparable to Lower Mainland in scale) often has winters too warm. Be hard to time that.
Better to separately hit the famous ski destinations: Hokkaido, Nagano, or perhaps Yuzawa, Niigata. These mtn resorts are also famous for the quality of their food staples/cuisine.
Then hit Kansai for the sights: Osaka, Nara, Kyoto & Kobe are truly places of history, beauty & more. Have always enjoyed how different each city is from the other 3. I've taken the economy route..getting to know the region with backpacked bentos, riding on two wheels. Can't imagine a better country in the world for cyclists.
Rent bikes in Kyoto, & you & your missus will have a time. Then of course, try a nice onset resort(pricey, but memorable). Peace
