Pugski Is Going to Japan!

[Doug Briggs]

The Pacific Rim is falling to pieces. An earthquake in AK, volcano in Japan. The sky is falling!

 

[Doug Briggs]

Is this a first? Are there any other examples in modern history where resort skiers were injured by a volcanic eruption??? Maybe Hawaii???

I don't know if skiers were physically injured, but many ski holidays came to an abrupt end when the volcano at the Pucon ski resort erupted in 2015.

Skiing in HI, yes. Resorts, no. And yes, it's probably a first. I'm sure moving forward, you'd have much much higher odds of being hit by lightning while skiing.

I remember that, now that you mention it. I had forgotten.

Apparently both Tokyo airports closed yesterday due to heavy snow.

It was a couple days ago ... Monday here in the states, I think? Believe me, the airport was open and it was bluebird the past two days ... I wish I didn't know that ....

Wait, are you still there?

No, I finally got home this afternoon. Had one 24hr delay, and then sat on the tarmac 3 hr before the flight finally took off today. Or yesterday. Or was it tomorrow? I mean, I took off at 6 pm 1/25, and landed at noon 1/25....

Glad you made it home! I totally understand the date confusion. I hope you get some sleep tonight!

Time travel can be exhausting....

Haha, the better deal is a post-midnight takeoff out of Tokyo; you arrive on the west coast the day before you left!
(Caveat is you can spend two days flying back non-stop with a late takeoff out of LAX)
