Typhoon a-go-go

Yokota Air Base is currently in Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) 2, which means that winds of 50 miles/hour or greater are expected within the next 24 hours. This is at least the third time in the last month that the Tokyo area is being hit by a typhoon. The other two didn't do much here, just dome wind and rain, but this one is forecast to come almost directly at Yokota. It is supposed to pass within 24 miles of here at 0200 Thursday morning, but we have been getting rain from it for the last day or so.

I called our base radio station yesterday when they were giving away Hilary Duff tickets, and have gotten 3 tickets for my wife, daughter, and one of her friends to go to her concert in Tokyo on Thursday evening (hopefully it will have stopped raining by then).

Now for something work related. The Japanese love to answer a question without answering your question. They are masters at it. However, I had a meeting the other day, and repeatedly did the same thing, giving non-commital answers, and half answrrs to their questions, and they didn't seem to like it very much. Go figure...
