The Hat Thieves

Here's a not too horrible picture of me in our camp in the Wadi Rum. Sitting next to me are Holly and Ashley, who will always simply be referred to as the Hat Thieves. Ashley is long famous for swiping hats, a peculiarity that I relate to her similarity to Professor Moriarty. Clearly she has brought Holly into her underworld empire.

I keep thinking of the concept of sympathetic magic from Frazer's The Golden Bough. It's oddly endearing.
