Tales Of Brave Ulysses
East of the Sun, West of the Moon
Well I take back the negative things I spoke about the meteorologists. It looks like the typhoon is actually turning to the northwest, and the eye will pass between Rota and Tinian this evening. The weather is still a bitch here, with winds probably about 50 mph with gusts to 60-65 mph. The power is still holding up, but I expect it to cut out in about 15 minutes. I have a foolproof guarantee of that.
See, Stalag 17 is showing on AMC right now, and I am cursed to never watch the final 20 minutes of that movie. Something always happens, bad tape at MCV, power outage, faulty DVD, bad videotape. Seriously, this has happened at least six times. And since it is the Christmas party in the barracks, and everybody thinks Sefton is the bad guy, the power is destined to go off any minute now, right about the time he fingers Peter Graves.

I think I was projecting my own hopes on the typhoon. It looks like it is still bearing to the southwest, slowly scraping over Rota and still approaching Guam. Bummer. At least my power’s still on.

i’m in barrigada heights, we got the power back (for now). but probably not for long. no flooding, though, it’s probably running all to you in mangilao. certainly lower barrigada.
