Typhoon Talas seems to be coming this way.
No-one here seems to be very worried about this: usually a few typhoons come by every year. In theory it will reach us on Friday, and by Sunday -when we are due to go back to Germany- it will have cleared off further north.
So far it’s been a bit more windy and rainy than normal.
People in Tokyo are being told to stock up on essentials but it should pass north-west of here. This is not entirely certain of course, as Typhoons twist back and forth like a driver talking on a cell phone, so it may yet come our way.
I don’t think I’ll go out in it. Does that make me a fair weather cyclist?

Your driver comment made me laugh. Our everyday life definitely needs more “careless driver” metaphors. 🙂

Ha. Let’s break down the illustion that driving is safe, one mataphor at a time. I like that.
It astounds me that people think driving is a safe activity. Especially when I’m in a car.
