Random Observations

Here's a difference (one of many!) between Africa and the West. You are driving down the road. There is traffic. A lot of it. There are pedestrians. A lot of them. You are of the Western mindset, so you see said road that has no lane stripes, you imagine that they are there, and you drive accordingly. Alternatively, you are of the African mindset, driving down said road that does have lane stripes; you imagine that they are not there and drive accordingly. There, that's observation #1 for you!
I realized today that no one walks fast. Gives totally new meaning to that line in the hymn that says "not a blast of hurry"--although I am quite sure that's not what it was referring to! I am probably going to be an even weirder feringe with my power-walking esque way of transporting myself:)
No new mice in my home, but now we have some new furry dwellers here! Caterpillars seem to have adopted the living room. Now, that is a task my flip flop can handle:) Maybe it has something to do with why the lizards also like the living room. Hmm . . .
