Went out for a birthday party down town near the Museum of Egypt, same place we went before where the cats were begging for food. The cats living there do very well. Lots of big shops in a very interesting area, May go back tomorrow or Saturday. Found out I’m sharing my apartment with some critters. Found two cockroaches, my weekend project will be to get rid of the rest of the family. Definitively got to get rid of them before Alice and Peggy come to visit. Got to mention driving in Egypt. This is the way it goes when they drive after dark. First of all they can display lights of any colour to the front, back, sides, doesn’t matter red, blue, what ever. So you meet lots of red lights and some vehicles decorated with multi colored lights. When they meet a vehicle they first flash their lights a few times, put the outside blinkers on and they as they are about to meet they turn off their lights and flash them back on just as they meet. Passing is even crazier…They approach the car they want to pass , flash their lights and then as they pass they TURN OFF THEIR LIGHTS, what if some other fool is driving with lights out too? Also in the city they don’t use their lights much, just parking lights. At dusk and even after dark you can see fools with their lights off on the highway.
