No typhoons to worry about after all, or at least not yet (the season's still young). Kaohsiung did get a little rain in the morning and other parts of the island got a good drenching, which is good. I don't think anyone will be filling up their swimming pools any time soon but at least the plants got some relief.

I tried to be nostalgic on my walk to school yesterday, but I wasn't the least bit sad to think it may be my last walking commute. I'm thrilled to be biking to work today. I am a bit nervous about the traffic so Lee and I are leaving especially early to avoid the early morning crowds. If all goes well with my psyche then I'll be thrilled. I'm not worried about the pain in my wrist because that's what advil is for. I know my heart's in it, I just want to know my head is alright with getting back on the road.
