First Crutches

This is the 6 year old niece of one of the families in our neighborhood. She was hit by a car at the beginning of September. The damage to her leg was extensive and it was cut off just below the knee. Her family lives in a poor neighborhood in a very full house, so she moved in with her aunt and uncle while recovering from the accident. They recently told us that her health had fully recovered and she was ready to go to school, but they couldn’t find any crutches for her. We called around and thankfully found someone with a pair her size. Here she is trying them out for the first time. You should have seen the smile on her face when she was able to “walk” for the first time in 2 months.

In a Fantasy World

I'm living the fantasy this year in Football with both of my teams in first and leading in points thanks to Larry Johnson and Willie Parker who I have in both of my leagues.

Are you Serious?

We saw this sign posted on a store earlier this year when we were in Egypt.

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

The Seat of Power

Today sitting in the president’s chair at the “White House,” I recorded my voice for a documentary that is going to be shown at an upcoming international trade conference. It was the nicest room I’ve ever been in this country.

“Augustus, the chocolate must never be touched by human hands!”

It has rained here on and off the past few days. Rain is sort of a curse here in this city because there is no place for it to run off. We have sewers in some places but not in many residential neighborhoods. It’s inconceivably worse for those people who live in the slums.

There are a couple places near our house where a pond develops and normally stays for at least 6 weeks after the rain. After about a week the water develops into a nice creamy lather that looks like a chocolate river, and the smell is nasty. It’s only a matter of time before we get a plague of flies and mosquitoes.
