“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,” and I didn’t need the Weather Underground site to tell me that we’re at Signal 8, though it’s certainly nice to have the full details.

(By the way, as a child of the American 60s, I always thought this was a strange name for a weather site – makes me think of the Weathermen, the 60s radicals slyly alluded to in the Dylan song quoted above.)

The winds (outside, not, um, internal) had me up since about 4 AM, and we went to Signal 8 shortly before 6 AM. The storm is still getting closer to HK, forecast to be closest around noon. That likely means an entire day off from work – though it also means I need to reschedule this morning’s appointment to bring my slowly dying car to the mechanic and this afternoon’s dentist appointment as well.

And since we went through most of the leftovers in the fridge last night for dinner, I’m already wondering what’s for lunch ….
