From the Japan Alps, where the heat held down by the crops yet unharvested, has not been lost after the harvest, I send you my greetings !!
Welcome to JREF !! Take you time to get to know how things work, how folks think, and so on, join in when you can and want to, and then little by little you will make friends. It will take a little time, of course, but it will be enjoyable for sure !!
See you 'round !! MM
