Here's another side of Eid: these are earthquake survivors in the town of Balakot, Pakistan, offering prayers. A touching scene from the WaPo Day in Pics.

Yes, life goes on when you don't sit waiting for FEMA. ;)

What are they standing on in that first one? It doesn't look too safe itself!

The dude in the chair is hoping there aren't any aftershocks.

The damage is devastating. Wow...

The IoTD looks kinda like an ark. Or some kind of vessel. The upper caste must be on the triangular rock.

Did all the catastrophe just start all over the planet or did we just start being made aware of it? I don't remember all this shit happening when I was coming up.

It's cooking, it's cooking. You know, put the turkey in the oven, go to church, come home and wait for the womenfolk to get it on the table. :yum:

Looks like the floor of their ruined mosque? Looks dicey but they've been living in ruins for a while now. :sniff:
