The Keffiyeh
Memories have resurfaced in seeing this scarf on American campuses and really domestically, coast to coast. I still remember as a child during the Clinton Administration watching Yasser Arafat on the news proudly wearing his keffiyeh as the PLO Leader, the Palestine Liberation Organization at Camp David.

Cobra Time
This week I have found some time to get back to my original project of the year. Yes it got hijacked a couple of times for some baby things, but it was worth it. Now I am working on some other charts for fun and to see what happens. It still has a bit more…
