Packing up at hotel and then off to the guest house. Realized this morning if I don’t start showing up on time for stuff, no one else will.

This will be quick because I want to get caught up so I can start posting more realtime.

OK, you get a bit of the idea. But don’t forget you’re sharing the road with oxen:

or getting a ride on a moped:

and the occasional camel and wild dog (haven’t had my camera ready at the right moment yet). These can all be found on the way to Microsoft (though for full disclosure many of these were taken driving at other times). Also, less than a mile from Microsoft there are some people in absolutely abject poverty. I didn’t feel comfortable taking their pictures, but I snapped a photo of a dwelling, which gives you a sense of it:

Quite a trip to work.  Good thing I have the fearless Mohamed to help get me there safe:

Arrival!

(the end)

@carlosdavis I’m just now realizing the value of the gift you gave me. Good luck at sectionals tomorrow.

I’ve finally put stuff up on http://charliemeatball.com/! Yayyy!
