Still waiting to hear back from dreamhost on the validation of my account. To their credit, they have responded to my questions very quickly and say that I will be up and running “later on this afternoon.” Of course since I’m 8 hours ahead, I’ll have to do it tomorrow. Of course you’ll be reading this the day after I get it all done:-)
One other note, the cobblestones in Sana’a are certainly not chosen for wet traction. It has been drizzling all day and the streets are really slick. The motorcycle taxis are still zooming up and down the streets. I wonder how many accidents are going to happen due to the combo of slick pavement and questionable brakes (most cars and motorcycles here look like they are barely running and need significant repair). I try to stay off the roads on days like today:-)
