City in the Sky


So everyday here you constantly ask yourself, "really?"

"Did that guy REALLY just zoom past me and cut across 4 lanes of traffic?" (yes)

"Is that guy REALLY wearing an eggplant sleeveless pullover sweater with (what looks like) tinsel woven into it?" (yes)

"Did I REALLY just see the numbers 1180 in my bar tab at the Ritz?" (relax...that's 1180 Riyals)

This morning's "really" moment was when I was walking into the kitchen to iron a pair of pants and I look out the window. Well, I wouldn't call it looking out as it was so foggy I couldn't see more than 6 inches away from the window. The first thought that went through my mind was that I had left the bathroom door open and fogged up the entire apartment while taking a shower. It was kind of surreal because normally I can see the other tower in my complex and today...nothing.

So it finally burned off a little by the time I left for work. Then my coworker's husband sends her this pic from his office close to where I live. Pretty cool, I'd say.
