Since I have been focusing on my work and haven't paid too much attention to what has been going on around me,  it wasn't until this morning that I heard about the biggest rainstorm of the century happening in Beijing.   Unfortunately,  there were reports of casualities,  including law enforcement officers who participated in the rescue misson.

Are any of you currently in Beijing experiencing this bad weather?   I hope everyone is safe and sound.  I want to show my highest respect for the individuals who are working and providing services for the people there.
