Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

Image
It has been hot and humid. We usually get some breaks in the heat and humidity in the summer. Not this year. The relativity humidity barely edged below 60% in the last month. We don't get dew on the lawns. We got heat instead. I think the heat and humidity is why I got a summer cold. I am mostly resting this weekend. One of the things we do when we travel is get flavorings and spices. We broke into some curry this past week that we obtained in a market in Turkmenistan last year. It was good. It was made in Russia and distributed out of Belarus. They translated into Kazakh and Armenian. I liked the taste and the label.

Some pics for last week in Upstate NY and one of DTW airport Detroit. Click here for the DTW airport diagram.
I have been in NY state and Kansas in the last week. My main computer had a fatal HD0 failure. I just took it to the shop, got a new hard drive, all the data loaded/transferred and everything is good. I hardly noticed the failure. What a difference from years gone by where I would fight getting things back the way they needed to be. It helps living in Atlanta. Services, even computer services, are easy to get and there is sufficient competition to keep prices reasonable. I have enrolled in formal Portuguese classes that start next week.
