Well, I did two new things in Doha today. Not new, as in I had never done them, but new as in I had never done them in Doha.

First, I had a burger from McDonald’s. Have to say it pretty much sucked. Very greasy. I guess that isn’t much different that what I remember from the states. What was different was the fries. I am not much of a Mickey D’s type of guy, but I always loved their fries. For some reason they just don’t have the same taste over here.

Second things was not quite as fun. I got a flat tire. I was at the grocery store and noticed that the tire was flat. Luckily it was in the evening, so the temp had come down a bit, but it was still pretty hot. Not really what I wanted to do, but I guess it was good to do some actual physical work in the heat. I have been behind an air conditioned desk doing paperwork for too long. I miss doing real work. Work where you come home physically exhausted. Now I come home just mentally exhausted. Not quite the same.
