Another week, another typhoon. That’s right, Typhoon Nabi is bearing down on Okinawa and is disrupting our carefully planned effort to get stuff moved to the Philippines and Utapao. It’s also putting a crimp in my plans to play some golf before going up to the Tohoku region for a change of scenery. Plus, like Katrina, this storm is a strong one:
If you have good eyesight you can read in the right hand table that winds are projected to be over 150 miles per hour. And it is bearing down on Kadena.

Or have all the services been watching too much Star Trek lately? Maybe in the Federation, it works ok, but in the real world, its full of unneeded complications………..
Sounds like its time to head for the refigerator:
Oh well, only a week to go and I’ll be in Hong Kong, walking up through Lan Kwai Fong looking for these:
Have to wait to see how the hunting goes!
Wanted to post some good news today! For bad news, well, there is always time.
