Deuces are Wild #11 short and sweet

March 25- March 28, 2012

Lessons Learned:

When dealing with long distance travel, always pack extra snacks.  Drink a ton of water.  Bring noise cancelling headphones.  Because if there is nothing worse than being hungry and dehydrated dealing with a seat-mate that can't shut the fuck up 5 hours into a flight.  And it doesn't miraculously get better at hour 14 either.  So come prepared.

I truly have no idea how the fertile crescent "origin of mankind" is located in the middle east.  Now I can't say I've been there, but it can't possibly be that fertile from where I am standing.  Everything is in some form or another a rock.  And they all have different classifications.
   Dust: is just dust.
   Sand:
      Extra fine sand, fine sand, coarse sand, extra coarse sand, just regular sand
   Pebbles:
      Tiny pebbles, little bit bigger pebbles, pebble sized pebbles
   Rocks:
      Pebble sized rocks (there a little bit more rough around the edges than a true pebble), tiny rocks, golf ball rocks, baseball rocks, grapefruit rocks, soccer ball sized rocks, BIG-ASS rocks.   And none of these rocks look like, taste or should be used in the same way they are named  these a purely technical terms used for classing the type and size of rock.
   Boulders: are just really big fucking rocks that think they are too good to be rocks so they get their own classification.

There are so many beautiful color here to stimulate the senses, like white, sand and brown just to name a few.

Its only March so the weather is fairly nice, about 65^F at night and up to about 85^F during the day.  The sun isn't too intense yet.  There is always a nice steady breeze though.  I can tell though that if the breeze picks up anymore sand storms could easily cripple a productive day and your sinuses.

Stay Classy, Deuces OUT.

  1. I was hoping for a Forrest Gump reference in the rock description

  2. thank you for pointing out that "grapefruit rocks" do not infact taste like a grapefruit. I would have probably ended up with a chipped tooth or two. . . depending on how many bites it took me to figure it out that is. ;-)

  3. When viewing photos of Qatar I am struck by the landscape in stunning shades of beige. This includes sandy beige, brown beige, reddish beige, whitish beige, dirty beige, eggshell beige, warm beige, cool beige, gray beige, oatmeal beige, tan beige, biscuit beige, cream beige, saddle beige, ecru beige, dusty beige, stone beige, smoky beige, cotton beige, of course, there's desert beige and my favorite, camel beige. Yes, a most intriguing landscape in addition to the vast variety of pebbles.
