The Winter of Our Content

We had the privilege of our first snow in Nagoya last weekend. It snowed about 6 inches, although it all melted the next day. Japanese people were out in droves throwing gentle, limp snowballs. They don't have the American militaristic complex when it comes to snowball fights. At home, if you're not taking out an eye socket, you don't belong outside.

As you can see, Jill built a snow-woman, complete with yellow flower hat. After we played in the snow for a bit, I posed with our local garden gnome, and we were off to book flights for America. We had a sweet Boyd's coffee, and found old posters decorating the shop for the Pendleton Rodeo in Oregon. Sometimes it's crazy to see things from your home state halfway around the world.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures. We love you all.
