Shio-kago 180 Posted July 31, 2018 Hello everybody. I first took an interest in sumo in the late nineties, but really had no access. About ten years ago, though, I started finding sumo content on youtube and started gradually becoming a fan. For no reason I can explain, I began getting really enthusiastic last summer; I've just had sumo on my mind a lot this last year. I've lurked this forum a bit, in that time, and thought I'd better register so that I can engage with other people's viewpoints, rather than receiving fan opinions only. A big thank you to all, for creating this excellent community! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard of it but never been there..... Thank you! Oregon is a lovely place. Lush forests, a majestic rocky coastline, the super fertile Willamette valley, countless beautiful rivers, and rolling desert west of the picturesque mountains. All this and a very mild climate. Some years the thermometer never reaches 37 C, nor drops below -5 C. There is one little problem living here in the valley, though. Pollen! If you suffer from allergies-- stay far away!

(It's my good fortune, that I don't.) Sounds great..... I don't have hayfever which makes Oregan a nice place to visit...... We are enjoying a minor heatwave in England right now but our climate is notoriously changeable..... My friend Wayne says that what forcasters call an heatwave we used to call summer.... One things for sure,its blazing when I am working(Window cleaner) Lots of cold drinks needed.......Usually I don't finish them because they don't stay cold long...
