No Frickin' snow in Osaka, either (snows everywhere else!!)
I miss those Detroit winters where the snow would suddenly plop on the city in the middle of the night--the only way to get to work was a SNOWMOBILE!
I suppose the snowmobiles changed from the days I remember them!
I suppose they now have car stereos, GPS and navigation system, and a hot cocoa dispenser!!
Congrads to your mom's new toy! Snowmobile Safe!!
