Pointless Fun News!

Crazy day in the region folks. Just saw this article:

http://www.gulfnews.com/tabloid/Society/10260970.html I know that Il Divo was just in NY for a American news show appearance and the flight from NY to the UAE is about 14 hours give or take. Hmmm.... And, I so enjoy the Gulf News.

Whoop! Ha, ha! The life of a lowly blogger! Good stuff....

Dubai is buzzing with folks trying to figure out how to see the fireworks display that is supposedly going to be WAY bigger than the one at this summer's Olympic Games. But, the Palm remains locked-down so to speak. I've got first hand reports that the normal flow of traffic on the Palm is non-existent. Almost nada for traffic. Workers normally working on construction sites on the Palm were no where to be seen earlier in the day.

Update to original post: An eyewitness on the Palm, "Cones are already going up to close lanes on the Palm itself [at 1:45pm local time]. The Al Sufouh entrance is crawling with security. As I was driving home from picking the children up a school, many eyes scanned my car at the Al Sufouh entrance looking for my parking tag."

Report from a Dubai private school mum: "Lots of mums with Palm stickers on their windshields picking children up early. Lots of Palm mums seem to be worried about being able to get home."

More later!
