Typhoon update

There is a slow moving but huge typhoon 300 miles off the east coast that has been bringing rain and thunderstorms here for the past 2 days..

Latest report is for more heavy rain. but the typhoon's winds are weakening and it is not expected to hit us: just flooding due to "enhanced monsoon rains".

it's been overcast and rain on and off for the last few days, but so far so good.

I just got back from shopping: mainly for snacks and coffee for all of us, plus soap and cleaning stuff for our house, i.e. stuff not covered in the cook's budget.
