Internet Installation on Monday

11:00 Am Monday. Right in the middle of the day. That is how it always is. I just keep leaving work or showing up late. So I hope it is not to crazy and I can make it work by the middle of next week. Then I can email before bed and reach you in the AM.

Setting that up was such a bitch. I showed up with what I thought was everything and the guy askes if I have my rental agreement with me. Well the chick in India did not tell me I needed that, so no. I drove home and then back out to another mall called Ibn Bittuta (Nick look it up). Of course it is huge. It is broken into pieces China, Persia, France, etc. So the mall has themes. I did not get to see it because once I was done with Du the cable and Internet provider the place was closing. But they did have a Bauhaus store. No, not the band from the 80's. Ask Karen, she knows what that means. Anyway, that is super cool.

The rental car thing is a nightmare. Don't want to talk about it.

I need to feel better so I am going to buy a TV. And a few trash cans, cups, bowls and all that stuff.

JUst to give you an idea about the roads. When you get on the highway, you merg over. and enter, then everyone behind me, everybody, passes and goes as far as they can forward until they are all pinched in super tight. There are three major reasons there is traffic here: construction, very short lights and the drivers are assholes. No, assholes and stupid. They don't know how to drive. There is aggresive and then there is passing on the right flying with no blinkers around busses wtih kids on mom's lap in the front seat. Its worse than Italy. It is busses full of guys working 14 hours a day in this heat from India and Pakistan with the new Jaguar or BMW X6 or Benz SLR in between. It is Babylon.

I won't post for at least 2 days.
