Don't worry all -- especially MaxedOutMama -- I'm ok. I'm just on a long-term assignment in the Middle East. I'm likely there, with a few trips back to DC, until at least mid December.
I'm temporarily acting as a bureaucrat for a government, managing a staff of 70 plus people, and trying to set policy for the country. In this position, opinion-writing, even in my spare time, would be unwise. And blogging from my hotel, where that same government is paying for my Internet connection, would be foolish (even were I not exhausted after 10 hours at the office). Given that, I've got to take a break from public positions for a bit.
That doesn't mean this blog is dead--just slower.
But I'm fine. Below is a picture of me that will allow the motivated to figure out where I am:
More pictures to come.

Thank you for the explanation.
I am having some difficulty find the "architectural search" function on this blog, but it is nice to know that you are okay.

You're at the Muslim Disneyland. That's the Matterhorn in a burka behind you.
Ooooh, more pictures! Please.
I don't thank you often enough, Carl. In the extended argument with my liberal uncle from NoCal, I often draw on your posts as the citations when he challenges my facts. He is coming to dislike you, and impugns your integrity. Which you may take as a great compliment.
I also draw on NOfP, with links, in online discussions.
M_O_M: Your warning is sensible and timely. Fortunately, I'm fairly safe where I am. Hint--that's a museum.
Lelia: More to come soon.
AVI: Thank you for that generous comment. I can think of no higher praise than to be employed by you as a resource and then impugned by liberals from NoCal. ;>)
A Zaggerat?
Must be Iraq.
You can come back now, Carl. It appears that there is hope. And possibly even change.
Except for CA, which has chosen to commit suicide.
M_O_M: And Nevada. But though I'm thrilled, I'll mostly be gone for at least another 45 days.
Here's my guess (and my reasoning):
Lots of new construction

Middle East

Dubai.
