It takes a lot of practicing to stay upright on one. We had a chap in Banff that worked in a grocery store while one one & made home deliveries riding one as well. Knowing him well I tried it & kept on failing.

I give any kid or adult…

Age is going to be a big factor to him with all the stress & strain he might receive, not to mention what he did receive before, if he becomes President-----far more they any of us can imagine.

Was it not India or Pakistan that was hit two or three years ago & when even choppers had problems of finding safe landing places, to where with proper equipment the authorities were trying to clean up one road to so many trapped only most of the mountain had to…

Actually it is a greater mess then most of us realize. Only those at the quake might(??) have any idea of the condition of the limited roads, to the present slides still closing off roads or help.

Like so many Canadians I will not be keen on the red band to the white for the rest. Will remind me to much of what is aimed for the Cdn Olympic Teams though I feel the latter is 75% red & 25% white.

No matter how you look at it, something like this, really hits the heart of any sensible human. Makes you pause a bit & give it more thought as to why, how, & just so much more.

The assumption that something terrible will not happen in Japan is like believing you can J-Walk on a busy street & not be injured.
