My buddy Drew is over in United Arab Emirates on a work trip.
Believe me, it's no pleasure cruise, if these comments in his e-mail this week are any indication:
Oh My God...it is hot here. Was 120 degrees yesterday and I think it was about 110 today. Granted, it is very dry, but 110 degrees is still 110 degrees.
Anyway, to keep his spirits up, I sent him a link to a Web site. Nothing crazy. Just something to make him laugh.
Instead of taking him to that site, he got this message back from the UAE goverment:
