Some new pictures from the Early Intervention Program Trust are up over at Picasa. The EIP Trust for those of you who dont know is a project that seeks to break the cycle of poverty that traps many kids forced to live on the streets and beg to survive here in Gobabis. Most of the [...]

Pre Florida Thoughts
So I finally got a chance to watch the Alabama debacle and came up with a few thoughts about the importance of that game as it relates to the Florida game and some enduring issues from that game. I know it is kinda like beating a dead horse at this point, but I think most [...]
PCVs in Windhoek
Over the past couple of weeks I spent a pretty significant time in the capital getting some of the final checks finished before I head home (countdown is 34 days left in Namibia, 53 until Im back in the USA). Last weekend especially there were a lot of PCVs in town for various reasons and [...]
RAIN!
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. I have a good bit of stuff that I will be getting up here as soon as I can, but the internet at work is down and that limits me to not uploading pictures at the moment and a lot of what I want [...]
Top 15
Listening to last night’s game gave me three thoughts:
1. If Penn Wagers never officiates another game for Georgia that will be fine with me. Defensive holding is an auto first down and that blown call cost us 4 points.
2. Tennessee is very lucky that we had some problems punching it in last night because that [...]
Brilliant Government

Some Tuesday Links
Something that I am going to try to start doing here is posting a weekly roundup of stories I have found online that I think may be of interest to people. Slow start this week but hopefully it will ramp up with the weeks to come.
New pictures are up at Picasa more coming later this [...]
Clouds!
Yesterday saw the return of real clouds for the first time in about six months. mind you these are not yet rain clouds but the cover was nice and they at least give the promise of rain sometime in the not so distant future. Of course the rains wont really start until I am back [...]
Sad Commentary
Saw some highlights and read a number of reviews on the VP debate last night. It is well known that I am not a big fan of Sarah Palin. To me it isnt just a lack of experinece but the whole image that she protrays. I understand the populist appeal of what she is doing, [...]
26/m who tore that horn off a live water buffalo on a backpacking trip while I was stationed in Namibia saving children infected with HIV/AIDS.
