sweet tats
here, we menfolk are displaying our new ink. rod's the scorpion king, trey's got a star, blake has a salaam alykum (all apologies for the spelling) and i have an elephant above my berber tribal band. it may be tough to tell from the cell phone pic here, but we're pretty hot. we're leaving here today to head into a city for a bit and then on to the beach. it'll be nice (once we finally get there) to just relax for a few days and chill.
one update from yesterday, one person did end up dying from the accident. we suspect it was a woman in white who had quite a bit of tenderness and guarding in her abdomen. oh, and it wasn't the steering wheel, but the actual wheel that came off. we've all discissed what life would be like here, using the bathroom in a hole, no ac, etc. i can't imagine what it's like to be the woman who broke her collarbone bust still has to carry water from a well and grind her own meal….for the kid with the broken foot who has to walk a half mile over rough terrain to pasture his sheep. what is beautiful and peaceful to us, can be frightening and terrible for the old and the infirm, i'm sure.
