Happy Thankgiving!

Hello All and a Happy Thanksgiving

The weekend has begun here with a torrential rainstorm. I am at home now and from what I hear this the place to be. The Arabs have no idea how to drive in the rain, not to mention the blowing sand and slippery roads. It hasn't rained seriously in months and the area is prone to flash floods and the roads become very slippery. Right now we are experiencing some severe lighting and the sattilite TV just went out. I am sending this blog out by modem so that is not a problem. I can just imagie what the roads are like.

I am hoping you all are or have had a good Thanksgiving, I usually have to work anyway so it is not a big deal. However I miss going to Chuck and Belma's place after work for Turkey day dinner. It has been raining heavy for over an hour and it will be interesting to see the aftermath. The street is flooded and fortunately I live on the third floor. We could get some serious flooding.



Looks like I get my check ride on the 11th of this month. They are in no hurry and neither am I, no pay raise and nothing changes except I have to work the boring afternoon and night shifts. They finally nabbed me at the beach today and I was informed I must buy a membership for close to $3000 a year, from now on if I want to go to the beach here I must now pay about $30 a day. Should have slipped the guy a 20.

Enjoy the attachments

Take Care

Bummer you got caught on the beach! 3000 is crazy! Happy Thanksgiving Dad! Looks like we both spent it away from everyone else! I hope everything continues to go well. Love you :-)
