It's petunia time

For the past few weeks, preparations have begun for UAE's National Day on Dec. 2.


This is may look like a normal car, but in Abu Dhabi during National Day preparations, it is considered



"blank canvas".....




.... because you must take your car and put giant pictures of Sheikh Zayed and sons (the sons are optional) over all the windows. Since that makes visibility virtually zero, then someone must hang out of the sunroof and help navigate all the while blaring arabic music. This must go on all night.















These may look like normal high rise buildings.....
WRONG....more blank canvas


My favorite part of National Day is that they consider the sand a canvas too....behold all the petunias.

Sheikh Zayed would be very proud.

Its good to get caught up on the blue eyed blogger. I have been without HiSpeed and the dial up was costing LD charges. Didn't Internet much, only e-mail.
