Typhoon headed toward Tokyo
....the good news is that our school has "late start" (we don't have to
be there till 10:30, if at all, depending on whether the typhoon is almost past by then or if it will hit later). The other good news is that all pets are inside and catnip has been liberally sprinkled to keep everybody happy. (It's Paulette's first introduction to catnip-- hope it won't lead her astray into a decadent lifestyle!) The bad news is that a couple of weeks ago my street (at the top of a hill but with a depression in the middle) flooded and came into our entranceways, floated our potted plants into each other's yards, and generally caused a mess. (And when I think about all the outdoor cats in the area who use the ground as... well... you know... just think of all the crud in that water I was wading in!) The neighbors have prepared for this one by putting sandbags out. I don't have sandbags. (And no, kitty litter bags won't work. I use wood pellets.) I don't think it would be able to come any higher than it did last week, though, so we should be fine. Sounds like Felix made a mess. I pray that Henriette doesn't, and that all of you are safe and purring. Cantate |

Last evening, we had a terrific windstorm (not typhoon) with 70 mph winds that took out large trees, roof, windows, etc. ...lots of lightning and very loud thunder. TuTu was scared and huddled around my feet Thousand of home were without power for several hours ( I have not heard the latest figures). So will purrs that the expected storms dissipates quickly.

EEEEEWWWWW! Typhoon has slowed down so we probably won't get it till tonight. However, we still have a late start. Otherwise I'd already be in the middle of my first class. :*) Thanks for purrs; I'll keep you posted. Cantate |
