Abandoned Parking Garage

(Crossposted to my LJ and abandonedplaces)

Here's an oddity - the parking garage on the upper five levels of "City C Centre" in the Souk area of Doha. City C Centre is a three floor indoor souk - that seems never to have been used or opened.

Temperature when I took these pictures was 107 degrees F (almost 42 C), and 89% humidity. Ugh.

However, you can drive up to the top levels of the parking garage.

Good for them....

Army accepting older recruits

"Margie Black had wanted to enter the military as a teenager, but having her first child at 19 put off her ambitions.

So when she learned the Army raised its enlistment age, Black, now a 41-year-old grandmother from West Columbia, Texas, didn't hesitate to join. The decision took "about 30 seconds," she said.

On Friday, Pvt. Black worked on her marksmanship skills here, while her 21-year-old daughter was at Army basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

"I'm taking it one day at a time," Black said. "If I do that, I can handle it."
