12/26/2003: Kashmir delivery system

The official cap: Whether relatives of Kashmiri refugee Asad get their cookies depends on the strength and accuracy of his arm. Asad, who lives in Karin village in Pakistani Kashmir, often throws letters (wrapped around stones) and foodstuffs across the raging Neelum River to his kin on the Indian side of Kashmir.

I thought it was cool how this guy has to huck rocks across the river to get stuff to his family, even though they do seem to have a pretty nice house there.

I guess the people downstream get the leftovers.
