Jimoto no Gaijin

Who am I? Since 1985,a resident of Ajigasawa, a small town on the west coast of Honshu, Japan- yes, way up there near the top, in Aomori Prefecture. Problem? I've got the wrong face (Canadian Celt). People still give a start when they round the supermarket aisle and see me. So, who am I? Jimoto no Gaijin- the local foreigner.

Curiosity- maybe that's why I like cats?

Pithy Sayings Dept.

On a blackboard in Bayshores Master Feeds, a farm supply store in Owen Sound, Ontario:
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom; one helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life".
