Hmm, it's times like these that I'm glad to be back home.

Just got the new U.S. Department of State Travel Alert - Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf in the ol' email.

Of course, Yemen is way different than the UAE. But still, I'm rather glad there's no government travel warning for Brunswick, Maine.

Although I did just see a guy here with his bike helmet on backwards. Seriously. Time to go prep the "travel alert for morons on bikes near the library on Union Street in Brunswick" email ...
