Today is the last night of Ramadan. We have no students and that leads to a slow day. Generally we play internet and watch YouTube. Some sites are censored by the Saudi Firewall, others are cut off by the corporate firewall. I was reading the US papers about this idiot in Florida (Rev Jones?) who wants to burn Qurans. You will be pleased to know this fool’s web site is not blocked here. Wonderful. ---

How often do you talk to the locals? Do you ever ask them what they think about messes like these? ---

I wish I could reach out to those he’s offended and tell them he’s definitely not an American, but sadly, he is. He makes Fred Phelps _almost_ look sane.
