3 completely disconnected thoughts

Off to Siwa tomorrow and wanted to post something without having to do the actual work of witing something decent. So, three half formed thoughts will do...
- Props to Britain for setting an example for how grown-ups conduct their foreign affairs. Classy.
- Will there be a bombing in Egypt in 2007? If so, this weekend is one of the most likely times for it to happen. Monday is Sharm El-Nessim, an Egyptian national holiday for the start of spring, and this is also the easter long weekend for both orthodox and catholics. Dahhab was bombed last Sharm El-Nessim. Egypt has seen bombings on a public holiday weekends in 2004, 2005 and 2006...
- Related to the previous, I'm pretty happy I will be about as far from all that wackiness as you can be in Egypt - 1000 kilometres east of Cairo in the middle of a desert oasis.
Awww yeah...

If you have told me that Dahab was once bombed, I would not have gone there! =) Then it would have been my loss.
