All evening long I heard shouting and honking and - yes - even gunfire. When I went to the Embassy to pick up Bart, there were men running in the streets with Jordanian flags, shouting in Arabic. Cars were blaring horns as they paraded through traffic circles.
It was all quite alarming until I discovered the reason for the chaos: apparently, Jordan just beat Syria in a big soccer match.
Go Jordan! I might've considered joining the revelers but I draw the line at random celebratory gunfire.
Hey! Speaking of celebratory gunfire, did you notice this is my 500th post on this here blog? Go me! Feel free to honk your horn loudly or discharge a weapon in celebration. Or, you know, just leave a congratulatory comment. Whichever suits your mood.

500 is a great milestone! I don't even remember how many posts I've had. Hmmm, maybe I should pay more attention to that.
What's life without a little random celebratory gunfire? I mean, hello, they did win a soccer game.
I love your blog. Keep it up!
Yea! 500!
HOOOOOOOOONK!!! = )
Congrats on number 500. I was going to go out and celebrate for you with some gunfire but my dog ate all my ammo.
Way to go!
Happy 500. Hope you're now thinking of doing the Blurb.com where you make your blog into a book ...
Congrats!
Congrats on the 500th post! And I'm with you on the celebratory gunfire thing, what goes up must eventually come down.
Congrats on 500! I really enjoy your blog - keep it up!
Honk! Honk!!! 500 is WOW!
woo hoo, you!
Must have been in the wrong part of town. It was all quiet around the 3rd Circle.
Oh! I missed this! Happy 500th blog-a-versary!! beep! beep! bee-bee-beeep! beep! beep! bee-bee-beeep!
FSO Hopeful - 3rd may have been quiet because everyone in the whole city, and from all the neighboring towns too, I'm sure, were trying to converge on and dance around Abdoun circle.
