Paul in Saudi updates: Interesting.

Paul in Shreveport updates: Not so much.

I read your thread yesterday. I dreamed about **Paul in Saudi** last night. I’m not the sort who can recall his dreams, have no idea what you look like, have no idea what the dream was about, and have no clue why this Paul guy —or text— or vague notion would be in my dreams.

Weird, huh?

Okay, I change my argument to “It’s gorgeous here! Not insanely, brain-meltingly hot!” 😃

Is it true Canada has only four seasons - June, July, August, and Winter?

Who the heck is feeding you that garbage? Canada only has two seasons - winter and construction. 😃

It’s very pleasant in the 70s in Columbus, Ohio. This is completely unnatural however. It should be hot and humid.

Sorry to read your news, **Paul**. And, yeah, it’s actually interesting to read about people’s lives, I think…

Good luck with the job hunt!

You could come here, to my part of Canada, where the icebergs roam and the fog runs free.

Then you could change your Dopername to ‘Paul in Newfie’.

Sadly, I’m leaving August 3rd, but I could pick you up at the airport if you hurry.

If I return to Jeddah, I can get the bird back. I visited him the other day. I swear he has gained 100 grams. Lots of nice breast meat on that one.

We will see.
