The weather out here this time of year is really weird. It can go from 65F to 80F in a matter of minutes with just a slight change in wind direction. Also, if the wind is blowing one way, it's really dry. If for some reason it's blowing the other way, it can feel like Florida in the summer. It's really bizarre. We should be getting some rain soon as it's the wet season. The locals here drive like absolute idiots, and don't realize that you have to slow down when conditions are lousy. On the first good rain of the season, early in the morning on my way to work, I usually see 3-4 accidents on the highway, with one or more cars completely flipped over. The worst part is that I've gotten so used to it I don't even react anymore.
Hell, getting off the highway yesterday morning on my way into work, there was a bus flipped over on its side right in the middle of the offramp. There was nobody around, and no one inside. It was just sitting there by itself. I drove by, glanced inside the front through the missing windshield to look for casualties, and went on my merry way.
OK now I'm going on an off-topic Kuwait rant.
Question... How do you guys actually pronounce BOTL? Do you say it like BEE-OH-TEE-ELL or just "bottle"?
