Can't say that I've heard anything about a tornado... Did see something about a waterspout that moved onto land, but I thought that was somewhere else...

Ahh, finally the sun's out: it's about 80 and there's a nice wafting breeze from the Pacific.... :D

Its still really hot at my house! I went to Gardena the other day to go to Marukai and it was alot cooler! Santa Monica is cooler too!

It is so hot by my house. I am always sweating :sweat: .

There is a huge typhoon headed towards Kyushu, Japan.
Winds at 125mph. :google: Expected to hit Japan today or tomorrow.
Damn. And the in-laws were supposed to be flying in from Japan tomorrow morning. :beaten:

I can tell ya'll's this (and maybe Rinrin, Groink, Ahochaude, some other Hawaii'ites can corroborate): I don't think there's EVER been an August evening where we experience rains. I mean . . . it's weird . . . driving along the freeways here, expecting to see dry grass, etc . . . on the contrary, lotta areas are GREEN.

Got ice age?

Yeah, haven't seen it rain so much in August before! :shakehead:

@Ahochaude:
There's been quite a few typhoons really early this year. Hope nobody gets hurt this time. :sweat:

I like going to the Marukai store, but you have to go early: parking sucks there... :bleh:

Yeah! Marukai is cool. We live in the Valley so we only go like once a year...there are no good japanese markets around here so we have to stock up when we go! Gardena is nice cuz it doesn't really get that hot. Parking is crazy there! My mom was driving and I thought she was gonna hit one of the old ladies! Its crazy!

Speaking of which. I have to go to Marukai now. I start at 4:00pm. :beaten:

Our parking sucks too. I work at the Ward store. Always someone complaining about the parking...... :usuck:

What about Little Tokyo? Of course, you'd have to take the 5 to get there...

The parking is not that much better in Little Tokyo, and if you do find parking sometimes its at a hefty price....

True that. Ya gotta show up early and park on the street, I guess. The times I've been there, parking in the structure was something like $4-$5...

Still sunny and windy for the time being. The autumn weather is coming, windy and chilly are expected, the darkness is upon us, hehe.

Right right right.... I totally forgot about it... It used to be this real high tone, fancy store like a Saks Fifth Avenue or something, but it tanked since the prices were so high...

I hope all in Florida can make it through Hurricane Frances well. :sweat:


Niko, I hope your family is all right.
