Land of the Rising Sun...
I don't believe that I've ever had my picture [and that of the lovely bride] posted on a Japanese based website. Until today. Thanks to the guys at Chinpunbeifun we will be now be recognized on the streets of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka which is good because nobody pays much attention to me here. This brings me full circle as my association with the Japanese is long standing. When I was a freshman, our high school foreign exchange student, Takao Umino, was from Japan. When I lived in Hawaii, I regularly drank beer on Friday afternoons with many nisei and sansei gentlemen down at Sunset Beach. Later in life I loaded up on Japanese electronics.
It's rather interesting but I met the Chinpunbeifun bunch through the comment section of Roger L. Simon's blog. When they started their own online journal, Roger was kind enough to mention the new site which quickly drew me there. It was a treat having them display a few of my Japanese related aviation photos. Next I plan on sending picutres of some of my rather old Japanese woodblock prints.
And I'm very gratified to see that they had an interest in our new blog for Burr Williams and the Sibley Center. I think that Burr is going to be a hit in Blogville.
