Yea, I know, I missed a day so fucking sue me.

In case I didn’t it in an earlier blog (or you didn’t read it), I live and work in Egypt. Buying groceries here is a real pain in the ass. You either drive into Cairo 1.5 hours, fight the crowds and bail ass out, hopefully not getting run over in the process or you go to the little local stores and hope for the best. The small stores here are a hit-and-miss expierence.

If you find something you like, you have better buy it all or next week when you come back, it will be gone and likely not restocked again.

In short, I’m still pretty much eating whatever I can find, healthy or not. Fresh fruit is difficult to get in this area, calls for another trip to either Cairo or Suez and while fresh, goes bad pretty quick. Veggies seem a bit easier to get but not in decent variety.

It is Easter weekend here, the Coptic Christian holidays seem to be about a week off from the ones in the USA. Everybody will be back to work on Tuesday and hopefully the boredom will be over.

On an aside, read this headline from www.wnd.com: “Israel preparing massive strike on Iran”

Being about 125 miles from the Egyptian/Israel border is a bit worrisome. And from what the article says, it is all Obama’s fault because he is “behind the learning curve” on Iran. Don’t give me wrong, I don’t like Obama anymore than I like Bushwacker but give me a fucking break! If this happens, it won’t be the fault of past presidents and piss poor US foreign policy, it will be Obama’s fault because he did not learn fast enough!

Give me a fucking break!
