We have a big storm heading our way, typhoon Soudelor. It's said to be the biggest typhoon or hurricane so far this year. It swamped some tiny little islands but hasn't hit land of any significant size yet. Does that make it like a tree that falls in the woods? If there's no one around to feel the impact does it not make the news?

It's making the news here because Taiwan is directly in it's path. The weather forecast calls for winds on Saturday to be 60 to 80 mph. I think we'll pick up some fruit this afternoon to last us through the weekend, although typhoon prices are already in effect - the cost of produce jumps up about 50% when there's a typhoon on the way. There will be no bike riding this weekend. I guess we'll have to get a nice ride in today or tomorrow.
