Bad Smell Outside
Boy does it smell bad outside now. It is permeating the house and making my throat sore. It is either the refinery or from sewage due to the failed Mishref sewage treatment plant.
Is living in Kuwait a health hazard?

Well at least there is a new Kuwait weather forecast site from the Kuwait Meteorological Center. That is good as previously the Kuwait Airport site link for weather wasn’t reliable.
And it looks like we might get rain!

Beach in Mangaf at Night
I put a larger one here on flickr.
Taken around 6:10 p.m. when it is now almost totally dark. Very nice weather warm and humid with a nice breeze.

Another Wreck on the Roads of Kuwait
I don’t know how this happened. But very often people cut in at the last second to make a turnoff and it is scary how close they come to crashing.
Sad thing is you can see a baby stroller in the trunk. I hope a child wasn’t in the vehicle at the time of the accident. People don’t use child car seats here.
