Broken Timex Ironman Heart Rate Monitor
Well, not a good thing! The chest strap broke, and I mean the plastic part that has the sensors on it from the main part of sensor between the central transmitter and the side sensors. I guess I was getting too pumped up on the rowing machine.
Well, it will go back to the Mountain Equipment Coop.

Roads of Kuwait
Click here for a full size version.This is the Number 30 highway going North towards the city. Note the mix of traffic. Speeds are from 150 to 80 km/hr or less. So it can be treacherous. And people cut across and pass in any lane. So you need to drive very defensively with the aggressivve part always at hand to pass ahead of potential trouble.
And then you have them here selling watermelons. I pulled over for the photo and believe me after taking the photo is was extremely treacherous to get back on the road!
