Send em my prayers PB!
Well, I just got a call from my daughter, and there is a minimal Catagory 3 Typhoon about to make a direct hit on Okinawa where my daughter and her family are based. I will say my prayers and then wait for the call that tells me that it is over and they are OK. Okinawa suddenly feels too far away!

I go to my local drum shop and purchase my sticks. I like to touch them before I buy them ;-)

It's just the weather channel trying to up their ratings! I'm sure she's gonna be just fine PB. It'll be over before you know it!
Nah, the scary thing is that I looked it up online, and Okinawa is such a small island in the middle of a lot of water already. It's a tiny place to be in the path of such a large storm. I suspect my daughter and her family will be OK, but all the Marines were sent home to be with their families, and that says a lot right there. Okinanwa will suffer, even if my family is OK.

This post reminded me of the movie "Karate Kid" part 2 I think it was...Mr. Miyagi (spelling?) and Daniel-san go to Okinawa and at some point in the movie there is a big storm...actually right as Daniel-san was about to get a kiss from his love interest...
Anyway...I hope everything works out for the best. These are indeed scary times to be a Dad for MANY reasons. I have 2 young boys of my own and my heart breaks thinking about what kind of future awaits the children of this dysfunctional society
i'll be praying for you and your family, pb. i hope everything turns out ok for you.

PB, is that "Marinewife" that was here as a member about a year or 2 ago? Tell her and her family we are all waving 4 fingers and a thumb their way.
Sorry to hear about the nasty weather they are having and hope is well with them thru out the storm.
Keep us posted.

RIP Frank.............thanks for being part of my journey
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family as well as mine. My sister and her family are stationed on Okinawa too. I was born there as well and I can assure you that they will be fine. All of the homes are made of concrete blocks and I've lived through my share of big typhoons too. Peace be with you PB!
PB, sounds at least that they have ample warning to prepare, and that is sure a relief from days gone by when warnings were much too late. keep us posted.
Enjoy the Music!
