Here are some Dubai photos.
This is my foot after a construction accident. I stepped into what looked like a firm patch of ground. It was, in fact, a foot sucking pile of cement dirt. I lost my sandal and frantically stood there like a stork for several seconds. Each time I put my foot down it started to sizzle. Up, down, up, down.
“Ahhh!!” (sizzle)
“Ahhh!!” (sizzle)
Eventually I managed to grab a hold of my sandal and hobble off. Much laughter ensued.

Katie at the beach. I am not taking a shower.
Dubai’s indoor ski hill. It is the only indoor ski resort in the Middle East. Costs about $50 for two hours. Temperature is -1.
A typical street scene. Traffic is often very backed up.

I think the last pic is exactly what Dubai is. Nice blog, btw.

Love your pictures! You`re a great photographer (? hard word…)! You know, I actually spent one day in Dubai the summer of 2000. I spent it on the airport though, so I guess it does`n count….:) Cool chicks from Canada aren`t bad either!

I feel you about the PG13 rating on your blog. But then you might want to cease posting pictures of wet, swarthy men with lust in their beady eyes. Isn’t that guy one of the Baldwins? I think I speak for the viewers of this and all other blogs when I say: “We demand to see rat parts.”
And apropos of everything, what in the sam hell are all these “blog verification” messages? Odd…

I’d like to second Ben, what the hell? Is that your official PG13 verification coming in?

Just went back to my blog and must now ask: what are eyelash mites and do you have them? (I won’t judge you if you do) and Where do men call you “mummy”? And would you like me to come and beat them up? Uhhh . . . I study peace, so I think what I really meant was talk to them.

Hi folks,
Sorry about the blog verification it’s the evil blog spammers. I am working on finding a HTML code which will zap them.
Everyone has eyelash mites. Sorry dude:) I saw this show on the discovery channel about how many living organisms live in and around our body that we never think about. Gave me the willies.
Men, alas, call me “mummy” here in Uganda. Often, it’s “sista” which I don’t mind in the least. “Mummy” seems a bit creepy.
And fine, Ben, the next time a rat is dismembered in my bathroom, I PROMISE to take a series of photos and post them. Although I think the cat and I have come to an understanding.
One of my mates here seems to think it was another rat which killed the first rat. In that case, killer rat could still be lurking.

that last one, possibly the scariest thought ever.
oh yeah, I saw that show too, or some older version of it. I think it was the movie version of that book called The Secret House or something. Seeing that you come from a nerd-o family too, you probably won’t be surprised to hear that we have the book.
