Oh you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union...

I am happy to report that, contrary to my statement in e-mail to Dad yesterday, I have now seen three construction workers wearing hard hats. (Doha is in the middle of an incredible construction boom which is being carried out almost entirely by immigrant laborers with hand tools and inadequate protective gear.)

The three construction workers in question -- the most adequately protected workers I've seen -- were planting a garden.

I guess the flowers around here are pretty fiesty?
