Sunrise March 21, 2009

For all your Kuwaiti students back in the USA who check in daily to see what Kuwait looks like – I am sorry to tell you, you are missing one of the most beautiful days of the year. The sun rose over a sea so still it is like glass; it looks so solid you could walk on it:

You wonder how I know you are Kuwaiti students? I use this wonderful software called StatCounter which I love.

What is STATCOUNTER?
A free yet reliable invisible web tracker, highly configurable hit counter and real-time detailed web stats. Insert a simple piece of our code on your web page or blog and you will be able to analyse and monitor all the visitors to your website in real-time!

It allows me to see where people who check my blog are checking in from – like if you are at University of Arizona, for example, it might show me that. People who have commented are identified from previous comments. It is a great little utility, and a lot of fun when you have a little time to spare.

For those of you in Kuwait – look at this week to come:

It doesn’t get any more beautiful in Kuwait. Get outside today! It is gorgeous out there!

    I need your help
    Dearest One.

    I am Marie Ahmed from Ivory Coast and I am contacting you because I need your help in the management of a sum of money that my dead father left for me before he died.This money is USD 4.million American Dollars and the money is in a bank here in Abidjan the capital city.

    My father was a very rich cocoa farmer and he was poisoned by his business colleagues and now I want you to stand as my guidian and appointed beneficiary and receive the money in your country since I am only 21 years and without mother or father.

    Please I will like you to reply to this email so that I will tell you all the information so that this money will be transferred to you so that you will get me papers to travel to your country to continue my education there.

    I wait for your contact phone so that i will call you and we proceed. i would like to know if you are married or not and if you are not married pls tell me about yourself and possibly your love life what you like and what you do not like ok.

    Thank you
    Miss Marie Ahmed

  10. LLLOOOLLLL, NBQ!!!! You didn’t check your own blog before you wrote that! The very first thing I did was to comment on YOUR blog! πŸ˜›

    Your comments on my blog make me think about sitting around the big family dinner table after dessert, drinking coffee. You are my cousin, you can talk and talk and talk, and I learn while I listen to you, but now and then I have to challenge you. Keeps you on your toes. πŸ™‚

  11. Oh sooo sorry! and thank U! πŸ™‚
    I did actually check my blog after your comment here, didn’t notice your comment… maybe I didn’t refresh properly or there was delay or something. I notice that on blogspot sometimes when I write a new entry, it doesn’t show up immediately from some ISPs.. maybe a caching thing.

    Thanks again πŸ™‚
