One Week
22 Nov 2008 11:54 am
I am now just over a week here in Zambia. Rains have come early this year. This could be a good thing or a very bad thing. If they continue the crops that are already in the ground will have a head start to a long growing season. However if they (the rains) stop for some reason the new maize that has already sprouted will wither and die. I have seen this happen before, although I have a good feeling about this year’s rainy season. Good luck to you substance farmers.
It seems that our truck always gets abused while I am not here. Broken springs, blown head gaskets, blown tires. The list is endless. Lost ignition keys; it now starts with a screwdriver jammed into the ignition. What can you do, just smile and try to explain to them preventive maintenance, costs, and no I am not rich!
Hopefully a few bags of tree seeds will get moved into the villages this coming week.
My breathing or should I say lack of breathing tires me out very quickly and I have no energy.
