this biscuit...

...smiled at me before i ate it's face off :). a friend asked me if it was yummy - i told her not really but it sure was fun! yes, i am easily entertained. 

only in america

so i will admit to being totally fascinated by this contraption in the states - an escalator especially for carts!! crazy!!

a spot more trouble

got in a  car accident in somalia once, when a truck carrying goats literally ran us over after hitting 3 cars before the car i was in. despite the totaling of 3 cars and 1 kiosk, nobody was hurt.

the truck that ran us over

the car it was trying to pass

the first car it ran over

the second car it ran over - our security car

our car, which was hit,
then dragged for about 5 feet, which hit...

this kiosk

a spot of trouble

so we had a spot of trouble one morning. 

funny story - while we were waiting for the tractor to come from town to pull us out, a bus came by. the driver of that bus came out and asked our driver, 'why are you parked there?' our driver said, 'well, we thought it would be a great place to park and wash the car.' hahahaha. i love this man, truly. :)

this is what we were trying to cross

oops

yep, well and truly stuck

tried to use the winch,
but tree was too far away

you might wonder why the car looks so clean

it's because our industrious driver decided
it was as good a time as any to wash the car

and because we're good employees

while waiting for the tractor to arrive

we used our 'on the clock' time wisely

and took pictures

after all, i AM M&E, i document

i suppose it does kinda look parked

if you close one eye, squint the other and
cock your head to the left

tractor finally arrived

we DID manage to get out

but we were so stuck it took a good
20 minutes, about 10 different tries and 3
different kinds of winches
