Well, an evening of blogging sure takes time 😉

Once we move into the villa in January, higher speed Internet will make it faster though!

Look on the right side, way down. Looking at the weather in Calgary makes it feel much warmer here.

Apparently the logo, seen in its dynamic form here, the KOC logo of a falcon or hawk has an interesting origin. Some time ago, after oil was discovered in south Kuwait, some people were out hunting when they say a falcon hovering above a spot in the desert. They went to that spot and there was oil — the first oil find in North Kuwait. Believe it or not.

Since 2008 (and up to 2017) the latest official logo is the following:

Time to look for a vehicle, buy or lease, new or used, not decided yet. Some people lease, some buy used. Let’s see… I was certainly ignored in the dealerships. I guess I don’t look wealthy enough.

Nissan Patrol From KD 10500 to KD 11100 KD

	Nissan Armada KD 11150 to KD 11850
	Nissan Murano KD10500
	Nissan Altima KD5150
	Toyota Prado 8 cylinder KD 17000 KD 6 cylinder KD 12000 Used Prada, 2004 model KD 7000
	Used Vitarra I don’t like the Vitarras. They are thinly built, I guess you could say. And I’ve heard they are not lasting as long mechanically.

Driving back from the gym today. First at the left turn at the light a woman driver in full veil was doing the unoffficial left turn from the second lane, or was it the first lane? She didn’t know the difference!

Then closer to home, another car driving along with a lady driving with about a four year old sized boy standing in her lap between her and the steering wheel!

Wow!

Another thing to watch out for. As if it doesn’t just take eyes in the back of your head. One of the traffic circles that I often pass by gets lots of water splashed on the road by the water tankers which spill while breaking and turning into the circle.

And on the roads here, even though it rained recently, any water on the road turns the film of dust etc. on the road to being more slippery than ice.
