This morning wasn’t out of the ordinary but it was a great one, very refreshing and good prep for an all night flight. I woke up to a long run and had a very insightful quiet time. Amazing how God can use scripture in a daily study printed months in advance to address something so accurately. We were flying that night so I had time for a long breakfast and helped myself to the omelet bar, its hit or miss if its open and I haven’t been able to try it yet (prolly won’t be going back). Having just run and my PTs being a day or two old already, I was smelling pretty ripe but figured I would blend in with the local workers. My olfactories quickly alerted me to the presence of some females, I swear they soak their clothes in smell good, but it’s always a nice reprieve and I appreciated it while it lasted, because as soon as I sat down to eat about 6 of the locals also brought their food over and our smells mixed in a synergistic tornado of b.o. I did enjoy watching them as they watched the newest Indiana Jones movie on the big screen. You don’t have to understand the language to enjoy non-stop over the top action. They were pegged and almost missed their mouths’ a few times. I wish I could’ve asked them what they thought, but I they were content to get to practice “good morning” and proud it came out half-way understandable so I let it rest there. And huge topper to a great morning: after working out I found REAL FLUSHING TOILETS with water in the bowl. I know this sounds retarded but most all they have here are shelve toilets with no water in the bowl. Next part graphic: As the sign says: “place two squares of toilet paper on the shelf in the bowl, utilize the toilet then flush to wash waste down”
Like I said it was a great morning and the flight that night was good as well, we watched the sunrise over the mtns and got to see a gravel strip we’ve been frequenting for the first time in daylight (completely different than I thought) ignorance is bliss, while on approach there are ridges on either side that were previously invisible.
In the pic you should be able to make out the edge of the gravel strip, notice the line of defense from the local houses. Two little girls came out on top waving and dancing before their mother got them down. There were also young boys on top shewing away birds waving sheets and throwing dirt clods. By the time we took off we had a bit of a crowd.
Some have asked, so here is my address, I really like emails/letters about day to day boring sounding stuff the best. Save money on packages and go get a milk shake instead, just say a prayer for us before you drink it.
