And for my next trick...

It's nice to know that there are some things that you can always depend on, no matter where you are in the world; like the sun rising; death and taxes; Falcons will never have back to back winning seasons; and when you wash your car, it's going to rain.

I washed my car Monday (Actually I paid to have it washed, which is a service offered at most of the malls here. Usually, you park your car and when you get out there is a gentleman asking you "car wash?" Of course, with the Yaris, I didn't care how much of a protective layer accumulated on the car. But, I guess I will try to keep the Tundra presentable. So, 50aed, $14 to get the Tundra washed).

Tuesday I had a day off, I packed up my golf clubs and headed out to play some golf in Ras Al Khaimah, about 90 mins up the coast. I made it about 2 blocks and the rain started falling...and it looked still darker where I was headed, so I circled the block, stopped for coffee, groceries, then headed home.

First real rain in about 2 months falls on my only day off this week (training class scheduled for next 2 days)...I have calculated the odds of rain on my one day off in the UAE, after a carwash, and I have come up with 482,037 to 1. Too bad gambling isn't legal here.
