Betsy's gone or was she taken?
I've just got back from a meeting in the club room of the Atamyrat Hilton to discuss moving into the used carpet business and Betsy's gone! with a Australian-Turkmen emigre called Bruce who now works out of Cairo using a "Lebanese" passport (which seems strange to me as he is over six feet tall, has bright red hair and freckles and a family name of McDougall - who does he think he's fooling?)
With Betsy's strange disappearance, I'm worried about the mention of the S*** S**** M*** in my last post. I expect these guys now have me on their radar and are continually scanning the blog for stuff they don't like.
Anyway when I got back and expected to see her checking out her portfolio on-line, there was no trace of her although it looks like she left in a hurry as there was a half drunk mug of Starbuck's best beside the computer.
Of course she may have been reading up on the latest blog entry and seen the mention of S*** S*** M*** and is now in hiding. Only time will tell.
Anyway - here's a picture of Betsy to help you recognise her.
For obvious reasons, her happy smilling face and well cared for teeth cannot be shown. We don't want to make it easier for those who we won't mention to identify her!
(This was taken when Betsy was a poster girl for a well known cigarette manufacturer. Her stock and investment portfolio dates from this period. Alas, she hasn't retained her youthfull looks and so the period of high earnings has passed. Hence her current obsession with day trading!)
Going back to my meeting, our leader has declared that recycling camel droppings is not an activity to be encouraged in a modern, progressive and natural gas rich country. Your earnest blogger had thought that recycling was thoroughly modern and green. But Turkmenistan is mainly a brown country - so maybe that's the problem. Anyway, a new business is needed. Apparently the folks in North America and Europe dig our old rugs - so exporting pre-owned carpets is henceforth the main business activity of Aardvark's Atatmyrat Trading Company.
But keep an eye out for Betsy and mail me if you think you might have seen or heard of her.
Let's find where Betsy is on the map!
