Drought Preparations

We hope everyone had a good 4th of July.  We didn't get any fireworks, but we had a BBQ filled weekend.

We are getting ready to experience our first Ramadan.  Ramadan is a month long Islamic holiday where Muslims will fast during sunlight. (Learn more here)  For us, this means that we cannot eat or drink in public from 4:45am to 6:30pm.  In the office, we will be able to eat our sack lunches behind closed doors, but no morning coffee.  Ramadan will begin on Tuesday or Wednesday.  It depends on the position of the moon.  Living in Qatar is teaching me to be flexible.  Everyone wish Jonathon luck, because I am not a nice person when I'm hungry.

Restaurants will  only open after sunset during Ramadan.  So, the past two weekends have been full of eating out with friends.

Happy birthday Sammy.  I have been thinking about you all day long.  Always keep dancing.  Happy birthday Christopher.  We are celebrating with you in spirit.
