2006 November 2 Thursday.
A very nice and sunny, but rather cold day. I drove my van up to my friendly Toyota dealer, arriving at about 10:50. I needed them to do a one year inspection of the van, plus change the summer tires to winter tires. I was in no hurry so, I told them I won't be needing my van again until about 14:00. I used the 3 hours to take a long walk along the Ishikari Riverline between the 北旭川大橋 and the 秋月橋 which are in the same area. The sunshine was very warm, but the breeze was very cool. You can see from the photo, that the snow is beginning to pile up on the mountains of the Taisetsu Mountain Range. It will gradually work its way down from the highlands, into the lowlands were I and about 36 thousands other people live. It will become a white and frozen world very soon. Tomorrow is a National Holiday in Japan called "Culture Day" or 文化の日. My classroom will be closed along with most other schools and government offices. Let's see, I wonder what I should do tomorrow,......
