Typhoon in Town

Seems a bit early to me for two typhoons in four days, but here we are...

I had at least three blown-down signs pass me on the way to school today. I was literally checking my rear-view mirror to make sure there weren't any following me, and planning the quickest and easiest way to communicate to the people around me who were also waiting at the railroad crossing for the 6:45 train to pass, "Get off the road! There's a giant 'Sushi Express' about to run us all down." Just in case.

People never believe you when you say that kind of stuff though, and they've always gotta look for themselves, and by that time, the toddler holding on to grandma on the scooter in front of me would have been another casualty of the fast food industry's marketing.

Ah yes, one of those phrases you tend not to find in a Survival Chinese handbook.
