Far East Cynic

Life in the slow lane.

Got back from Israel-late but none the worse for wear. The storms in Europe delayed departures out of Istanbul, but luckily enough for me, I did not get strip searched going through Israeli security. They actually do things differently than our TSA brethern-and while you go through a lot of check points, the line was not too bad, and for the most part you did not have to get naked. They do ask a lot of questons again and again. Then again-I’m told it had to do with the time of day we went and that the witching hours can be bad. ( Like early in the AM).

Got back to learn that they still have not come to install our phone service and will not till January 2nd. So we, like so many others will be waiting 6 weeks plus for a land line and reasonably fast internet. So posting may be sparse-especially as we finishing unpacking and locating the last of our four missing, undelivered pallets. Besides-blog readers have better things to do during Christmas, like drink holiday cheer.

When I can get to faster speeds, longer posts to follow.
