A Snapshot of Karl's World

Karl is my brother. He's a great guy who's currently teaching English in Japan. I think I've received all of 3 e-mails from him in the past 6 months, so I know he's doing just fine. Two of those were really directed towards Shana and were about sending him a pair of sun glasses he had ordered. I was lucky enough to finally get one today and here is what it consisted of.
Ps--- Super weekend fun ahead.. have a look

= big f-'in waves
Okay, to put it in context had just sent another 2 liner thanking Shana for sending his new shades.

Karl has always been the type of guy who works hard and plays hard. A perfect day for him in Japan involves the "trifecta" of surfing, skateboarding, and fly fishing. Luckily for him, the island he lives on provides abundant playgrounds for all of these. In fact, it has the best surfing in all of Japan.
Here's the picture from the link he sent which shows a typhoon being tracked. The island Karl is on is farther North and it does not look like it will be directly hit. In any case and as he so elegantly put it, this means there will be crazy big waves. Have fun bro and don't try and stick around if your island gets evacuated! (for the record, he has been evacuated a few times due to typhoons)
