Irony

Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? It is a Ugandan 50,000 Shilling Note about $23.80 US. That will get you the best hotel in town with three meals, two 500ml beers at the bar, and and a slightly chilled afternoon Coca-Cola.

However it may not be as bad as this.

That'r right Obama Jeans.

Eye Pad

Apparently there is more than one witty person out there. Well done sir.

My current plan is to get one of these (the real one) and fasten it to the back of my head. It will display the back of my head to cover up all my web browsing from casual hall passers by. Option two is still the image of the back of my head, but attached to my seat. That way I won't even need to be in my office.

Actually Got Excited

So after looking through all 242 posted pictures of the Rabbit Valley Rally race, I actually got excited about MTB racing. It looked like fun, but I would have missed my foot powder day on my birthday. (not a bad trade-off) Colorado is pretty sweet. Powder in the morning and a warm sunny bike ride in the afternoon.

Not Forgotten

I was thinking the other day, I've neglected the blog. I guess I got out of the habit while in Uganda. I owe all of you heated blog posts about Boda Boda traffic lubricant, home-made Matoke, and how luck we are in the US regardless of the economy and who is president. However, I'm not sure what it is about Africa, but it seems like everyone wants to go back. Maybe it's just Uganda, but most of the people are just concerned about living rather than all the craziness that the world has in it. In all of the 14 days I was there, a 10 minute conversation stands out. A 50 year old man named Alex who runs the Namma orphanage described his water needs. He also talked about how much the climate had changed over his life (shorter rainy season and less predictable). He wanted to know why. Thats when it hit me. My 60 mile a day commute with a V8 engine might be killing somebody. Hows that for a reality check? You don't really think much about climate change when you get your water from a tap and your food from a store. But when all the water you get gets collected off of your roof you start to pay a little more attention.
