Bring on the Snow!

So we don't really mean that, but whether or not we want it winter is coming. Today's date is August 23, 2008 and we no longer feel cozy going outside in a tee-shirt and shorts. After walking ten feet out of our front door we turned around to grab our coats. Sad but true, summer is over and before we know it the snow will come. One of Joe's students told him Sapporo gets about four to six yards of snow each year. Insane. We'll let you know if this student was right in about seven months. One might wonder what Sapporo does with all that snow. Well apparently, the snow is loaded up into dump trucks that transport the snow to a magical land outside of the city.It's possible the snow will reach the top of our house. It'll be fun living like Eskimos.

Nothin' like a chilled August walk to the grocery store. We are beginning to think we are a couple of weenies.
