Hereabouts, next Wednesday, 1 October, is a public holiday.
Why so? It's the 59th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China:
In other words, National Day.

(click on table to enlarge)Well, that's that, then.
Typhoon Hagupit, the tally so far: eight dead in the Philippines; locally, sixty injured, three seriously; flights cancelled or delayed; almost everything closed; fallen scaffolding, flooding in the usual places; 100,000 evacuated along the South China coast; Vietnam next.
A little known fact -- outside of the Philippines -- hagupit is Tagalog for "to lash".
Oh, post-Hagupit. Today, a run on Hong Kong's third largest bank, Bank of East Asia: bloomberg

Weather pr0n
(click on photo to enlarge)Hong Kong Observatory raised the Number 8 at 6pm. At that hour Typhoon Hagupit was about 210 kilometres south-southeast of a little island in the South China Sea.
The "big wind" is forecast to move west or west-northwest and make landfall on the south China coast.
That's to say, well to the west of a little island in the South China Sea.
Hagupit's outer rainbands and strong winds are already upon the island. Gale force winds and heavy rains to come.
Stay safe!

Weather pr0n
(click on table to enlarge)The last ten days have been unseasonably hot. Today, it was hotter than hot (35C).
Not for long.
Typhoon Hagupit is skirting the north of The Philippines and heading into the South China Sea. The typhoon is "relatively fast moving and mature".
The Number 1 has already been raised.
Although Hagupit is forecast to pass well south of a little island in the South China Sea, Hong Kong Observatory notes it may be necessary to raise the Number 3 sometime tomorrow, Tuesday.
Stay safe!

Stevie Wonder: Superstition
For the weekend, a guilty pleasure.
Stevie Wonder and his band play harsher, harder and louder live on Sesame Street. As someone else said, it doesn't get much better than this. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend.
