The Daewoo car I was driving with two companions when I totalled it on the King’s highway outside ‘Amman at 4:30 in the morning on the way to the archeological site we were going to photograph before backfill for the season.  We all walked away more or less unscathed.  I discovered two years later that I had broken the big toe on my right foot.  I was arrested by the military police and jailed for three days.  After that, I was paraded before two courts (everything conducted in Arabic) and pronounced guilty and fined US$50. I asked what for afterwards to the policeman guiding me and he said speeding and destruction of public property (I had bashed into the cement stanchion at the bottom of a light standard).[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
