A Week's Recap

Here I am, again, apologizing for the delay... Sorry!

There wasn't that much events to add in the past week.

Besides, my internet at home was not working very well. For 3 days it stops at night, and it is impossible to do anything for it. Having internet through the cell phone was a grin that disappeared quickly as well, since there was no signal as of this rainy morning. This comes as a surprise since the cell phone provider is one of the best out of 3 providers we have here in Baghdad.

Back to the internet, I went on Thursday morning to the local provider's office, to tell them about the wobbly signal. I saw the office half-opened, with the owner inside along with two men. I greeted them, and started telling them the signal problem. The owner said: "I'm sorry; we are having bad circumstances these days. My brother died."

I said: "Oh, I am terribly sorry. I haven't known." I offered the man my condolences and left the place.

I didn't know if his brother died normally, or was killed. But he was probably killed, since normal deaths are becoming in second place after not-so-normal causes of death in Iraq.

Meanwhile, I believe one could live without an internet signal, as long as the one is alive.
