there are no leaves to change color, and I'm assuming that since it's the tropics, they wouldn't really do that anyway, but the temperature plummeted below 30 today, so I'm calling it the first session of autumn. The weather report said 100% chance of rain, so I went to the bridge again. It didn't rain, but that's ok, because I skated well (for me) and for almost three hours. The first few were alone, but I got some pop in my snap from finding out I have an interview at a dream job here in taipei. Skating was a celebration today, and I was in a silly mood, so I tried a **-***** to *************** on the little manny pad. Shockingly, I had it down in about 30 minutes; even getting several in a row, and about a dozen on the day. I also did an easy flip, all of once.
Halfway through, a banciao homie showed up, and we complained about the heat. I beered up, despite my best intentions, but it was a good day and I'm already a belt size down on when I left america. Diet and exercize are amazing, especially when you are fat and cut out etoh. But today I cheated, and watched one of the best skaters I've seen at the bridge as he warmed up. his style is atheletic, but smooth, and pretty playfully tech.
on the skate home, the sidewalk was blocked by thousands of people waiting in line to buy moon cakes. The line was three blocks long, so I skated through the scooters and taxis. I hope we get some more days under 30 degrees soon.
