Well first.. I love the copious amounts of hot water in hotels :o) -18C outside in ski country (Collingwood ON) and a long hot shower is ... nice :0)

At any rate.. I'm not fretting about Chinese economy in the meantime.. since luckily I have raised much cash.. and can watch :O) but it is reassuring to see stratfor's position.. They are pretty consistent :O) Possibly they belong here :o) Subject 57926

Moses probably ate Khat. The Egyptians "used it as a metamorphic process and transcended into "apotheosis", intending to make the user god-like."
en.wikipedia.org

I though about that while in Jizan in South Saudi Arabia near the Yemen border. There in those hillss they cultivate and use the Khat.

Most of those biblical stories are set in the Red Sea. The Sodoma and Gomorra are said to be in Jizan or at its outskirts.
