Before we went to Taipei last weekend, there was talk of a typhoon hitting the Philippines. That was nothing unusual. The Philippines gets hit by typhoons more often than politicians take a vacation. If not for the Philippines, most of those typhoons would hit Hong Kong. So those of us who live here should be grateful it is there.
When we landed in Taipei, the typhoon went from a category 1, which is the smallest, to a category 4, which is pretty high. It turned out to be bigger than the experts expected, but it kept its course and hit the Philippines. There was no evidence that a typhoon was anywhere nearby when we were in Taipei, other than a little wind.
After we went back home, the typhoon swerved north and headed for Taiwan. It should be rainy for the next few days, but most of the storm has died down.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
