Subject: [Biofuel] ANOTHER typhoon!!!
I can't believe it - this is TENTH this year. Usually there are only two
or maybe three a year in Japan. And October is too late for typhoons
anyway. Seems nobody told this one...
And no one instructed the "bumble bee" that according to the laws of physics
it shouldn't fly either.... sometimes a bit of levity in an otherwise very
serious situation helps clear the mind. Hope you are all well, roosting hen
and all.
I learned lately that there is quite a scoence to raising chickens and that
they have a complete heirarchy, the "pecking order" is NOT a myth or merely
a euphemism, it reeally is that way.
Try to stay dry, but mostly safe.

Most of them have missed us, or the worst of them have, we just got the
accompanying three-day drenching. I thought this one would be the same,
and we were well into the drenching already, solid skywater all day and
all last night. I wanted to brew biodiesel today so I thought I'd go ahead
anyway and set about doing it. Once started I had to continue... Despite
the fact that I had to rescue the chickens and bring them inside, so there
were chickens all over the place, and chicks, little fluffy golfballs
dashing about and getting underfoot. I managed not to soak any of them
with sulphuric or something. Couldn't rescue the one who's sitting on her
eggs, so I barricaded her in somehow, poor thing, it's not very nice out
there. I guess she'll be okay, if not too happy about it.
Meanwhile this isn't just a drenching, it's a killer - it's killed 15
people already, and it's right overhead, high winds, and it's wrecking
everything. Midori went to Kyoto today, she just got back, I was VERY
pleased to see her. And she me, she barely made it - trains stopped, roads
flooded, embankments collapsed, and a 10-mile drive from the station over
the mountains in the K-truck hoping the slope wouldn't collapse on her.
Now we're hoping the mountain behind our bedroom wall won't collapse on
the whole village.
Oh well. I might even finish the brew, if a falling tree doesn't take out
the power supply or something.
