6 October 2008 Back to Normal

The sound of early morning traffic humming by the house woke me early this morning, early enough to catch the sun coming up. The truth – as I see it – is that this is a very ho-hum, back to normal kind of morning. People are in the back-to-work mode, focused, not all that happy, after the glorious celebration of Eid, to be heading back to hum-drum normal. The sunrise was also sort of ho-hum, but there is a little wave action going on, and the temperature is only 79°F / 26°C and not expected to go over 98°F / 37°C.

I don’t mean to complain. It is a lovely sunrise. I might have had too much caffein this morning!

Sometimes, in the fall, I feel a little restless. Maybe the inner-Alaskan starts looking for a cave in which to hibernate!

  1. I woke up this morning to the annoying sound of cars honking! Apparently some neighbors cant get their a$$es off to the house doors and instead stay in their cars and honk like there is no tomorrow :-S

  3. It is unfortunate but as the people go back to work and there are no major holidays until the next Haj Eid ,the chances for illness by flu will increase and the city will have its brownish grayish dome over it ,

    Let pray for an early rain to wash all the germs and pollutants away and bring back a fresh smelling breeze and a beautiful sky

  4. Oh, Ansam, no! What a horrible way to wake up. Makes you want to throttle your neighbors!

    Thanks, Ab. You know as I was writing the sort-of negative post, I had to stop and look and think it really was a beautiful sunrise . . . 🙂

    Oh Daggero, rain! Yes! Let’s pray for rain!
