Back to the fabric souk…

So last week my friend Gary had to get a tux made for an upcoming event. He’d never been to the souk before and had roped Jennifer into helping him pick out fabric too – she’s good but I think she’s charging for her consulting services now so no more freebies! I tagged along as [...]
Oh dear God, it’s a miracle!

In case you don’t know I’m a former militantly anti-smoker person. When Florida banned smoking outside your home I was the guy who would tell you all about it on the beach. I would flush friends cigarettes if they were unlucky enough to leave the out around me. And God help you if you tried [...]

My buddy Scott had a little Super Bowl party in the middle of the night last night. He subscribes to the NFL channel which did an all around awesome job of rebroadcasting the game and all of the national commercial spots. Not being a Giants fan nor a Pats fan (Go Cowboys!) I was a [...]

Alright, I know my readership is pretty limited but there are some folks out there who stop by from time to time so I thought I would throw this out there and see if there are any nibbles. A good friend of mine who works at KGL Transportation needs Americans to fill some open positions. [...]
Braving the fabric souk

So if you’ve lived here in Kuwait for more than 15 minutes you’ve probably run across someone who will tell you how easy (“cheap”) it is to have custom tailored clothes made here. For the most part that’s not an entirely inaccurate statement. That doesn’t mean that you can just wander around town and stumble [...]

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It [...]

So way back in 2011 I was watching the O’Reilly Factor (thank you TiVo & Slingbox!) and as has been the case for many years Bill was doing a segment on the defense of Christmas. You know – from all those lefty, statist, atheist, nutjobs who want to force stores to say ‘Happy Holidays’, keep [...]

The following was forwarded to me yesterday and I felt it bears repeating. Supposedly this was written by a 21 year old resident of Waco, TX and published in a local paper. Before posting it up I wanted to check the voracity of that claim. Snopes was no help so I eventually went to the [...]

So if you haven’t seen it Microsoft has a little hunk of free software that they’ve been playing with for several months now that it pretty cool. Its an excellent piece of stitching software – for making panoramic pictures but you can also do the opposite and take pictures of an object from multiple angles, [...]
Apparently we live next door to a car guy…

So like a month ago the next door neighbor had a Bentley dropped off. It showed up in a softside container and everything. When we first moved in here he was parking the overflow from his showroom in our space and few folks told me I had some high end cars under our shade. Eventually [...]
