No, I don’t mean Malaysian Borneo, I mean rural Michigan. Travel + Leisure Magazine proves that exotic is purely a matter of perspective when it sends a reporter to my Mom and Dad’s farm! Read the article and then hurry to volunteer before Three Roods Farm starts charging you for the privilege.
By the way: that stylish colorful shirt my mother is wearing? Straight outta Sarawak.
Love it!
Wow! Can I go and live there? (rhetorical question)
Very true: ‘exotic is purely a matter of perspective’. I will certainly find rural Michigan very exotic.
assalamualaikum bingregory…
selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin to u n family…
u must be so proud… ’scuse the lameness but isn’t the picture missing a pitchfork hehe…
Zylia,
yeah, I think they cropped it out. If you look closely, my dad’s arm is extended. They’ve actually posed for campy “american gothic”-type photos like that before.
Wow, that’s wonderful for them 
May God bless their hard work. My wife grew up on a farm, and she is the smartest person I know when it comes to so many things because of it. I hope some of it rubbed off on you
Ya Haqq!
Asalaamu alaikum.
Wow, two surprising coincidences we share in one day… the tariqa and Michigan… alhamdulAllah.
Your parents’ farm looks lovely, mashaAllah.
wa alaykum salam.
You, Saifuddin and I - it’s a trifecta! You should come out to Flint if you get a chance. The masjid there is lovely.

that some people will react rather badly to having their country compared to the USSR. I would like to assure you that the Soviet people would have reacted similarly, had the United States collapsed first. Feelings aside, here are two 20th century superpowers, who wanted more or less the same things – things like technological progress, economic growth, full employment, and world domination – but they disagreed about the methods. And they obtained similar results – each had a good run, intimidated the whole planet, and kept the other scared. Each eventually went bankrupt.Valuable lessons on what to expect and how to prepare follow. Read it yourself, but the condensed advice is this: Live on the margins of society. One encouraging sign that Americans are picking up the skills they will need to survive: haggling at the mall.
