Well, a tropical storm has been passing through like you wouldn’t believe. I am recalling my early days in Japan trying to get through typhoons on a bicycle and stay somewhat dry at the same time. Ultimately, there are only two ways to get through such storms: 1) don’t leave the warmth and dryness of your home; or 2) go with it!

For most of the day, we stuck with option 1 –

But, food and a little cabin fever forced us to go with option 2 –

We decided that we should fully appreciate this weather since we live in the desert most of the year and won’t get such kind of weather. Still, the Oregonian in me is reminded why I left that climate for dryer scenes. However, it could be a lot worse and there is a strange sense of adventure to it all.

Plus, I am getting work done that I need to do and have launched my new Abu Dhabi POV website, which I hope will become a useful and fruitful project to keep me from going too crazy with work and studies. πŸ˜€
