Tropical Storm Update (6)

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the 16 victims of Cyclone Phet. The newspaper reports this morning are sad. Evidently the ROP (see above image if you can read Arabic - was published in today's newspapers) will be questioning people who put themselves and others in danger by going into wadis or even going to 'stare' (the ultimate Omani hobby). According to my fellow blogger Reality, an ROP officer drowned trying to save a kid who was 'swimming' in a wadi. I SALUTE THE ROP FOR DOING THIS.

And finally a kind reminder to the childish readers who go out of their way to type up long sarcastic responses to my posts .... I apply comment moderation and will not publish them. So, don't bother yourselves.

Drugs in Salalah

Hi! I only have a couple of minutes to write ... sorry about that. I've been extremely busy! But I do want to ask if any of you know about the ROP drugs campaign last week? According to my sources, over 500 people were investigated, some were arrested, and apparently there was some gunfire. I know of a couple of people who are still in prison (it's been a week). Does anyone have more information?
