August 27, 2005After School SumoOne day after work, I was stopped at a light on the way home. While sitting there, I looked to the left, and saw this......Read this update Doggie!One of the things that regular readers will know about us is that we're suckers for dogs...we can't actually have any with our current living and working arrangements, but someday, that will change. Until then, we mooch off of dog...Read this update Bon Odori FestivalLast week, after Melody came back to land, we met our landlords down at the local pedestrian area near our house for the neighborhood Bon Odori Festival.

Category: August 26, 2005It Came, It Blew, It Went Away...All Clear, All is ShipshapeWell, after all the hype and preparation, the typhoon blew onshore last night. It looks like it passed pretty much right over the house, and was pretty wet and windy. I went to bed around 10:30 PM or so, and...Read this update August 25, 2005Typhoon...We have Typhoon Mawar approaching.

He was rather...Read this update August 16, 2005Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On!Last year, I had to contend with terrorism in Saudi Arabia, and every time something would happen, I'd alert my family that I was fine...Now, it looks like I'll be doing the same with earthquakes. My interpreter and I were...Read this update This Just In...In an effort to keep you up to date, I offer this... In 1994, I was stationed on the Sinai Peninnsula, Egypt...Sharm El Sheikh, actually, probably less than a mile from where the bombings were last month (July). It was...Read this update August 15, 2005This Just In...Women Cause 50% of Traffic Accidents in KSAIt's been a while since I've had an update from the Magical Kingdom, and when I saw this in my Google News this morning, I couldn't resist throwing it up here.
