Fingers And Tubes In Every Orifice: Quote of the Night

You have to draw the line on any job:

“Sir, as a nurse, I will clean your ass, I will wipe your ass, I will even stick my fingers up your ass. I will exhaust every effort to save your ass. BUT, I will NOT go so low as to kiss your ass. And rest assuredly, if you continue to piss me off, I will not hesitate to kick your ass! Now plant your ass down or I will take your temperature with my boot!”

A Very Dusty Day in Kuwait

dust storm in Kuwait

I was going to dive today but woke up seeing a haze outside in the air. The water is not from rain but construction in the area. Though it did rain earlier this week. And, one breathe outside tells that it was dust storm. Well, hard to call it a storm as there wasn’t any wind in the morning. So no dive trip. I still went to Dive Caroline as it is only a ten minute drive with a Starbucks on the way for a single espresso.

So we went shopping to Salmiya and then Ikea and the new Avenues Mall. The photo is in the alley next to Eureka where I took my iPod in again for repairs and we also finally got a convection microwave oven. The iPod screen has gone bad. Apple quality, well they use electronic components like everyone else. Fortunately I have a three year warranty. Otherwise the warranty here is only three months.

The wind picked up in the afternoon a bit and it cleared off, but in the night the dust is back again. Covering everything.

So is it true? Can “anyone take a great picture,” as Nikon says, with a digital camera? I think the answer is yes. They can. But they won’t unless one of two things happen: a) they get very lucky, or b) they improve their skills.

Flickr = Censorship

I’ve been wondering about putting my photos on Flickr but this solidifies that I’ll put them on my own site. I do now have many on my Pbase site.
