Linh, thanks for the glimpses of that desert hellhole, now get the fuck outta thaya and try to cool off. Gonna be 91 degrees here in the Tacoma area the next couple days. warm but not like there. The electricity consumption must be off the charts. Plus there are missiles and drones flying about? Some excellent writing once more Linh...many thanks, K
Not from Dubai, but rescued off the streets of nearby Abu Dhabi, we have a cat, “Baby Kufu,” who was adopted by a friend who was teaching there at that time. After carting him to Cairo, and then Naimy, for subsequent teaching jobs, she finally gave him to us, but not before he was “fixed,” so his exotic West Asian DNA cannot be mixed with that of our local, SE Vermont feline DNA. At least he doesn’t have to endure the 30 or 40 degree Celsius temps. of Abu Dhabi—though today it is 90 deg. F. here in Brattleboro.
Real people doing what real people do. It is really a miracle how resilient all of these people from hither and yon make do under the worst (seemingly) of circumstances. Human beings, despite their occasional idiocies, are as lovable as can be, as long as they don't succumb to their vanities. I am not talking about our ostensible "leaders" though I think that many of them are not human any more, so they don't qualify under the "lovable" category.
Hi everyone,
Here's a glimpse of Cairo's iconic Horreya Cafe, which is really a bar, on 2/1/21:

thanks for giving us a glimpse of Dubai - who knows how much longer such an entity can survive?
