Bummer
As this is the desert, it would seem silly to carry an umbrella with me. Today, unfortunately, the heavens opened and I had a 7-minute walk back to my car in the rain and I was quite soaked.

Rain in this country is not handled well - roads have no drainage, people have no idea how to increase their following distance or turn on their lights and traffic lights short circuit. To make things worse, a certain George W Bush is in town and they're closing major roads without warning which means my journey back to a hot shower is taking about 10 times longer than usual.

So, I'm ashamed to say, I turned on the heated seats in my car for the first time (don't laugh, my car has heated seats) and I must admit, when you're soaking wet, sitting in traffic and not being able to see out cuz your windows keep misting up, the warm gentle roasting of one's posterior is a rather pleasant experience.

But what happened next was even more of a pleasant surprise - I received the following SMS.

Now, I think the man's an idiot, looks like a monkey on experimental drugs, and his country's foreign policy is as well thought through as Dubai's decision to implement congestion charging at 4am. But if the big guy wants to visit Dubai and close all the roads, hell, he's more than welcome to come as often as he likes!

And I think it's hilarious to watch the news to see George W stepping out of Air Force One with his umbrella to shelter his obviously precious head from the heavy rain in the desert... It had to be him.
