Wind is blowing my wool in every direction.

 

My pretty coat is all messed up by the wind.

 
 
Don't you have enough?

Randy and Allen's Trip to Japan

 
 
 
Randy and Allen are world travelers, they hop from one place to another within a few days of time.   Before you know it, they are either in a different continent or already back home.
 
 
Allen says, "Japan was great. Masako and the Nippon RC were excellent hosts. We toured historic sites including temples and palaces around the Osaka and Kyoto cities."  

"The best part however was getting to witness the cherry blossom bloom in Japan. This occurs for only a few days each year and millions of people travel to see the blossoms. We are so fortunate." 
 

Randy and Allen got to play with a deer.
 

"The show ran efficiently and had numbers around 100 for each show, making it one of Nippon RC's biggest. Breeders drove as far as Tokyo, an 8 hour trip."  
 

"Randy and I both chose an outstanding AFL junior buck for BISs. The breeder came from Tokyo and the rabbit was bred in Japan. We each chose different RIS with an ND for Randy and a HL for me. "
