I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal’s daily photos, which are a good way for me to keep on top of world events. And, more interesting (sorry, it’s true) than reading a bunch of newspaper articles. This photo of Taipei drivers was posted yesterday, and I thought it was great.
Motorists crowd at a junction during rush hour in Taipei October 29, 2009. There are around 8.8 million motorcycles and 4.8 million cars on Taiwan’s roads and nearly all motor vehicles and inhabitants are squeezed into a third of the island’s area. This results in high concentrations of polluting emissions in the places where people live and work, according to official reports. A U.N. climate change summit in Copenhagen will be held in December.

I just caught a whiff of cinnamon from the kitchen, because Michael’s baking snickerdoodles. It’s a rainy day and the cat is curled up on my lap for warmth. The dehumidifier is humming and I’ve got some favorite songs playing…it’s a wonderful Sunday afternoon.
