We woke up early this morning because Kuniko had to go to work. We were both kind of hoping that the typhoon would come early and she’d get a day off, but it was running late, so she had to go. Bummer! <\/p>\n
I headed up on the train to Kobe, and then had a snack at McDonald’s while I waited for the CD store to open. When it did I exchanged my CDs, and headed back to Kuniko’s empty place and slipped the new CD in her mailbox. At least she’ll get to listen to it tonight.<\/p>\n
From there I headed back, well ahead of any signs of typhoon. The skies were calm, and it was just a bit windy, but nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n
I talked to my folks on the phone, and spent the afternoon relaxing and doing some pleasure reading. I secured some items out on my balcony, just in case. For dinner I made three or four rice balls that turned out nicely. <\/p>\n
Then the typhoon arrived.<\/p>\n
Holy crap! Even now it’s blowing harder than any wind I’ve ever seen. Lots of junk from my neighbor’s balcony is landing in mine, and every once in a while you can hear sirens from emergency vehicles. I went outside on my porch to check it out, but I could barely get the door open, and when I was out there, lots of leaves and branches were flying around. I think I’ll stay inside until things calm down. <\/p>\n
I sent off a message to Kuniko to see how she was doing – I imagined her holed up in her place like me, but she had gotten off work and was going drinking with some of her co-workers. It’s just a typhoon, nothing to get worked up about. I guess I would probably act the same about an earthquake. <\/p>\n
Well, it’s blowing like crazy and I should probably save this entry before the power goes out. See you in Oz!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
