Another sunny day in Beijing with mostly blue skies. Some haze has crept in, which makes me wonder whether the Weather Machine is showing signs of strain. Perhaps someone just turned the power down a notch. Either way, it's a long way to the Olympics, and you can't keep weather control equipment running 24/7 for months on end. Once in a while, you have to at least shut down for maintenance.

Most folks are back from the holidays now, so I'll be on a "normal" blog schedule again. Enjoy the weather.
