40 days to deliver Eid greetings. Were the messages hand delivered by
the lone Bedioun camel postman given the time it took to reach us or are
we just way down the their list that it took 40 days to get to us. Or is
it that there isn't any better news than a 40 day-old belated Eid greeting?
I must be missing something.
