I had planned on leaving tomorrow for an assignment climbing and photographing Mount Fuji, but I seem to have fallen ill, so the trip has been pushed back to late next week. I’m not all that bad off, but climbing a 12,000 foot mountain was simply out of the question.

Of course, as luck would have it (ha!), another typhoon is on the way. Typhoon #14 is forecast to approach Okinawa and perhaps Kyushu early next week. I think there’s a distinct possibility the storm may remain south of mainland Japan, but for now, I need to prepare for what may be my final typhoon intercept before returning to the States. Hopefully, I’ll feel better by then.
