HOW TO GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF A BAKKIE
The use of the Bakkie here is one of the modern day miracles. It is not dissimilar to the miracle feeding the four thousand with 7 loaves of bread and a few small fishes. With less there can be more.
Here, the miracle is the smaller the truck, the more it holds!
Oh ye of little faith, pile it on, it works!
CEMETERIES
Albert Einstein said, "the fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears,..." That is unless you are going to be buried here...
"All places are alike, and every earth is fit for burial" - Christopher Marlowe
Well, Mr. Marlowe are you sure about that?
In the summer the weeds and grasses are so high you can't even see it from the roadside.
IT NOT ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE...IT IS ABOUT THE SATELLITE DISH
Lots of little white dots on that thar hillside! I envy them, when I go visit them they are watching the Nigerian Soaps and I think I could get hooked on them....but, alas Elder Hunt says missionaries don't have TVs!
FIRES
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice...(Robert Frost)
Here is SA, it will definitely be fire.
Months and months of burning the hillsides, the road sides, the field, the bush, garbage, it goes on and on and on....I do not understand how they can burn so much and not burn up their house. I have coughed for 3 months from breathing smoke, ash, and other debris. Asthma, inhaler.....never had such bad allergies!
With fire on my mind I am reminded of "my candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night".....so I am going to bed.
Beautiful South Africa!
