Straight Outta Chicken Street
My cleaning lady complimented my new carpet yesterday. I assumed she was referring to this:

It's a wonderfully faded old Karabagh (1957 is woven into it) with an outstanding and unusual border.

I hurriedly purchased it last week when my return to Baku was in question. I worried that I hadn't bought enough carpets.
However, since she normally doesn't comment on my new carpets, it occured to me that she might be referring to this one:

The International Man of Mystery brought it from Kabul. He was confident I didn't have one just like it already.
