We happened to pass a lighthouse that seemed to be active. The mountain covered with mist is Grouse Mountain, also known as a great skiing place. I like skiing, trekking across mountains, fishing, kayaking and yachting so there's everything for me in this city. I suddenly recalled Mr. Saburo Iura who told me "There's everything for you so how about leading a happy life here?" He had run a big gift shop, "New Tokyo Gift," for more than 20 years and passed away 3 years ago at the age of 65. He would often tell me to live in Vancouver. He could find me a job as a surgeon.
Any chance will go away soon, if it isn't caught when it is in front of us. I was walking as I was contemplating such a thing.
