Today, the sky above Attica was sepia and everything looked yellowy. Mother Nature's photoshop effect is not unusual this time of year. Every spring the Saharan sands travel in thick clouds over Greece, falling in large droplets of unclear rain. And. yet. every. single. spring. I see people rush out to wash their precious cars as if the yellow rain will chip the-oh-so-cool-metal color off their vehicles.
Meanwhile, World Water Day was yesterday, and the public awareness commercials asking us to conserve water are playing on television and radio. People should realize that the first thing they should sacrifice is the cleanliness of their cars. Water is too precious. Too precious. If we keep wasting water we'll be using camels soon and they don't come in metallic colors, Greek dudes.

Debriefing
- Flubberwinkle
- Athens, Greece
- Half of the day they call me "Athena" where I get paid to dabble with computers. The other half of the day I'm called "Mom", but I also have an online secret identity. I am bilingual, so what might look like Greek to you, probably is. I blog because it's cheaper than therapy and I like to make people laugh.
