Hi, Carol,

I'd say your UAE censors have a vivid imagination.

Craig (?) and Lee are standing side-by-side, smiling for the camera
in front of a table of pots.

Perhaps, owing to their flowered shirts and their closeness, they
might be seen as promoting a lifestyle not favored by certain Muslim
cultures?

Bagels and Lox?

Regards,
Maurice

Good Morning Clayart,

When I tried to see the photo,

I got:

"We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to
its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and
moral values of the United Arab Emirates."

Just WHAT are those wood firing potters up to?? ;-)

Gee, we had the ash-glazers camping in the buff, excuse me , on the bluff in
April (no pics) and now Lee and Craig are up to something that Etilsalat
(the UAE phone company) thinks is bad for me to see.


Best regards,
Carol

OT - We are out of here in two days!!!! Going West to be corrupted for seven
weeks. Guess what I'll be bringing back in my duffle bag? It's two words
and the first one starts with a B, second with an L. Talk about corruption.
I've got "breakout fever".

My guess is an inventive juxtaposition of the letters of a certain part
of the address. I could be seeing things though; I'm such a potty mind.

Probably, they've heard what I've said about their oil buddy Shrub. ;-)
