This happened tonight. Sarah on the baggage scale in Entebbe airport. She was encouraged by the dude on the left, who insisted the scale was quite accurate. Sarah and Cat were both skeptical.

Kototo Peter
We had a quite jaunt to Uganda the last few days and I got to see old friends. Peter was around last time working with Patrick and I was pleased to see him still around. His first name (Kototo) means "Forever young" and it seems he's fulfilled his end of the bargain. This dude is 70 years old. He had some health issues a while back but was apparently pretty immediately back in action working on a billion new projects. I took way too many photos of him this time, so much so that it was a joke by the end of the trip.
Here he is from the last trip

Collin talkin’ agriculture
We are in Uganda now and that gave me a chance to check in on some people I met last time here. I was expecting everyone to have changed radically and not to recognize anyone there, not to mention them remembering my previous visit. But to my surprise everyone looked basically like themselves and they knew who I was. Cool.
I was most impressed during my chat with Collin and Maureen about agricultural concepts and market demand and other junk I have no business speaking to. They've really learned a ton, not only about how the farm works, but the larger picture about what drives different crop demands and subsistence versus industrial farming.
Sleeper in Africa
A lady asleep near Muhuru Bay, Kenya. If I could hashtag this blog post, I'd hashtag it with #sleeper and #publicsleeping.

A couple of Kenyan dudes
On our walk yesterday I saw these two dudes looking awesome. Awesome dude on the right's shirt reads:
NO WAR ANYMORE..........................FOREVER
ONE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLES, ONE FAMILY
KENYA
THE SPIRIT OF NATIONALISM
WE LOVE PEACE
Lwala garden pano
This is the garden here at Lwala, in case anyone was interested.
Sleeping cow
Today we remained a Lwala. We took a walk to visit a local home-garden but our way was blocked by a stream that had risen too much from the rains, which is pretty awesome in my mind; it reminds me of having to forge a river playing Oregon Trail. Anyway...we walked through wet, hole-filled roads and fields in parks more like a stream than a pasture. It was all overwhelmingly beautiful (and hard to really capture) and all very much full of livestock.
I saw this cow sleeping in a position that I'd wager is more comfortable than it may look.
