Coming Home

Trash is sorted (research)
Bags are stuffed
And I'm scurrying to get last minute things done before my flight in 3 hours. But hey, I'm good...I'm already sitting at the airport.
But being really sad is soon to come...

Until next time...

Notions

So, I've been thinking of something things that I have been considering sharing, but either haven't had the time, forgot what I wanted to write before I did finally log on, or had not worded it just right yet. I will start with my thought for today.
As I am now a Returned PCV, I am taking advantage of seeing the country I have lived in for the last two years from a different perspective. Driving the roads of Kampala is an adventure all its own and I'm sure I've picked up skills I will need to immediately discard upon reaching home. I know in the States we like to complain about potholes, and rightfully so, they can do serious damage to vehicles. Kampala has its share of potholes, well and the rest of the country. Some have been 'blessed' with more than others-just trying to put a positive spin on things.
Anyway, I have previously told people that I never thought I would long for speed humps to be installed, but when I used taxis, I wished they have them every 10 feet.
Today I've come up with an alternative to speed humps and I find it quite clever:

Instead of speed humps, they should just install potholes, they are much easier to install and maintain!

Until next time...
