Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

-

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.

While in France I happened on the Paris Airshow. It was totally unplanned. It was a bit freaky that Angie and I were able to get there and be part of the world's largest commercial airshow that happens every two years. Where else can we see the latest Mig 29 Fighter demonstrated a few minutes after the Eurofighter Typhoon? I swear those jets are so loud you might think they run on sound power! The whole show is (of course) very impressive; the low-slow demo of the Airbus 380 was particularly impressive.
