Typhoon #4

Last Tuesday, Typhoon #4 was in the headlines and was reported to be heading directly for the Kansai Area.  It is highly unusual for typhoons to hit right smack in the middle of Osaka, but nonetheless, everyone made a big fuss about it, and as I wrote last week, many companies closed early, or at the very least "recommended" the employees to go home if they didn't have any urgent work to do.  Some companies also send only women home, which is very gentlemen-like, but I thought was funny.  Anyway, Ms S sent me an email in the latter part of the week.  
Here it is:


Ms. S:  Was that really a typhoon?!  Nothing happened in Osaka.
Glenn:  I know. It was a joke.
Ms. S:  I regret cancelling the class because of the typhoon. I should have gone...
Glenn:  Nah, that's not necessarily correct.  As the proverb goes, "Better safe than sorry!!"
Ms. S:  You're right!  Safety is the number one priority! I can always go to a class another time.
