Free-weight Equipment in Kuwait
My wife and I have recently found a new place to stay, and with one of the extra bedrooms we are going to make a home gym. I went out looking for something pretty specific: a weight bench. That is all I was looking for. I was shocked to find that at several locations, one […]
Exotic Pets in Kuwait?
A friend of mine at work started laughing hysterically (did I spell that right?) out of nowhere today. Looking over I saw why. Unfortunately, it is a sad and funny reason. There is a website, which I will not disclose even though I am sure it has made it to multiple sites, where you can […]
Executive Privelege Invoked to Shield Cheney
Quite frankly, this is total crap. The president and his VP should not be immune to legal preceedings because they don’t want their dirty laundry aired out. I mean he already commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby regarding a scandal…
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is regarding who leaked the name of an FBI agent […]
And The Search Continues
It’s only been a couple of weeks in the new apartment, but we have already decided to find another place. Just small things, the other folks in the building being noisy, and the harris not being reliable when it comes to doing something when he says. A few hours late is one thing, but 3 […]
Michael DeBakey Dead at 99

Observation: Learning Arabic
Please don’t try to learn to SPEAK arabic solely from a book!! I know I’m not perfect, and yes, my arabic needs tons of work, but when your job involves interacting in the Arabic language, get a real class or an audio self-paced class.
Another suggestion, learn the letters, then the sounds, then learn to speak. […]
New Apartment Woes
After finally finding a place and getting the price correct, we are now finding little things that are irritating us. The washer, for one, doesn’t work the best in the world and sometimes gets stuck on the cycles. Secondly, the stove was changed out for an electric one, but there is no outlet in that […]
Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem?
It was bound to happen, given these circumstances…
Police say the attacker was a Palestinian who lived in East Jerusalem who held Jerusalem identity papers. Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem have access to Jewish West Jerusalem and carry out nearly all construction work in the city.

Strange Happenings in Kuwait
I love the “Kuwait Crime” section of the Arab Times. Alot of the crimes make me laugh. Some of them are just sad, and others are fairly ridiculous. I wish I could find the link to the account of arresting someone for practicing black magic. Anyway, here are two incidents…
A democratic monarchy with no real […]
