Relevancy

The weather at Gateway, and by extension Kuwait, was awful. Highs in the 115 F with a constant north wind/hair dryer finely mixed with sand. It made walking around the camp quite uncomfortable. To make matters worse, today was air conditioner maintenance for the row of tents I stayed in. This meant turning it off for an hour plus while technicians cleaned the filters and hosed everything down.

I left my tent and walked over to the MWR building. The only Internet access I had was on my Blackberry. Concerned about leaving Kuwait, I decided to look up the weather on Google. I searched for the terms “kuwait kcia weather” and the second most relevant link was a post from this blog back in November. Weird but that’s the power of Google for you.
