Busy day today. The island is battening down for Typhoon Nock-ten. I went out this morning to run some errands and do laundry. The laundromat was crowded, no surprise, and several of the businesses were closing early so their employees could prepare for the storm. It was eerie driving home past businesses all closed up with storm shutters. What made it eerie was that the days was sunny and bright with a light breeze and lovely puffy clouds defining the sky.

But, according to the weather forecast we will experience high winds and rain all day tomorrow. I have battened dow everything except for putting up the storm shutters. I'll do that in the morning if it turns out to be necessary.

For those who are curious, yes, Wakana is due back tomorrow if the typhoon allows it.
