Midnight at the Oasis

I felt like a voyeuristic sheik of araby today. I only saw the world through through a camera viewfinder from 8 this morning until 7 tonight. And what I mostly saw were yards and yards and yards of colorful silk. No levolor blinds for this house - instead, lots of ceiling to floor (and then some) drapes. I anticipate some interesting silent movie dreams of riding through the desert on a white horse.
