Happy Halloween!
What a great entry, Ted. Shows how we do take things in our own backyards for granted. The sunset over Ottertail Lake is beautiful and frameworthy! We just finished cramming our new puppy in a ginormous (is that a word? LOL) pumpkin. He was not happy. And it's really hard to get pumpkin goo off a wriggly puppy. Not recommended. Happy Halloween!

Are you an architect?
These are humorous tales of the Middle East. My father was there 11 happy years with Mom. He wrote a book called Jebel Dhahran by Walter Symonds Jr before blogs and e-mails existed. Becky

Hello Ted, I have enjoyed ur posts about Saudi. Anyways, I was just gonna say that this is Pakistani News, PTV. Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu use similar characters in writing.

AT-AT
Hey Ted - more great adventures for you! I have to comment on the Camels on the Horizon photo... my inner 10 year old was screaming - 'they look like AT-AT's!!!' Hope you had safe/easy travels home.

Camels
Much better in person than "smoking" them! Welcome home. Talk to you tonight when you have had some rest.

Market in Kuwait City
Mostly it was food. I didn't buy anything, but I certainly ate a lot of sample dates and nuts. Besides, I didn't have any Kuwaiti Dinar; I only had Saudi Riyahls. Fun Fact for the day: A Kuwaiti Dinar is worth $3.00. A Saudi Riyahl is worth about 30 cents.

Peeps
Heather, I could have guessed you would think that Peeps were another shocking example of questionable American culture. Please note that no Peeps were injured in the creation of any blog photos. They were all stunt-peeps.

Wow--I am truly surprised that the Peeps weren't a hit! More to microwave then...

A colorful way to celebrate Easter...
Just catching up with your posts this time around, Ted, and had a giggle over this one. It seems that push-pinning the Peeps to a flip-chart turned out to be their most entertaining use ;-) Being a furrnerr, I've never heard of them...but their electric neon hue doesn't scream "natural food product", so I can't say that I blame your colleagues for their reactions! (Although I am a bit worried that you may have been taking the Easter re-enactment of the crucifiction a bit far...). Glad to see that your accommodations are improving in leaps and bounds!

Peeps as Office Decor
Ted: I loved this blog so much I printed it out in color and posted it in my office. And I just found out that there was a shortage this year of the yellow and pink peeps. Only green (what is a green peep anyway...it must be pink or yellow?) available. So maybe your purchase impacted the Peep economy????????????????? e

Cultural Icon
Don't they understand that the "peep" is a cultural icon. They could bury the peep in a time capsule and 10,000 years from now, it would still be the same peep...and ready to eat! God give the Peeps to the rest of the Universe I say! Go Ted. e
