When I first heard this last week, I thought well GEE, Ive always wanted to see Japan, but c'mon, not this way!! Makes for some really sound sleeping knowing this may happen at any time. Guess what I can see out my window? VANCOUVER ISLAND!! :(
As the little old lady doing her early morning gardening in Vancouver says when she looks across the waves "Ohayo gozaimasu" to the little man in the field. He looks up in surprise, but bows his head anyway.
Born and raised in upstate New York, traveled for a decade after college, lived in various places around the world, keeping a journal. Settled in Kyoto in 1980, moved to this mountainside above Lake Biwa in 1995. Started Pure Land Mountain in April 2002.

We'll have a festival waiting for you on the beach!
And you can guess what all the radio and tv stations were yammering about here on Vancouver Island:
Is Victoria (that's the city on the southern tip of the Island, facing Port Angeles and the Olympics) ready for THE BIG ONE?
Images of NOLA. Flash across the screen. Anyone who has ever been here would just have to laugh. And then cry.
We here in Victoria love you Yanks. Keep coming up.
