Just saying “hi.”
Here are a few photographs, randomly assembled, from the last few days.
We’ve been tinkering with the website some. The best way, I think to view this post is to click on the first photo, which will get big and then just use the arrows underneath the picture to advance to the next one, and so on.
You never know where a Yankee fan will pop up.
This in the window of a welding shop. Not sure what kind of alternative is on offer.
This was just down the hall from Auntie Tabby's counseling center. Lots of noise coming through. They were cooking.
Me. Stuck in the mud on the way to get Britt from the airport.
The crew that gathered and assisted in the hour long extrication.
Tony and I were having lunch upstairs here. You can see the old faithful pick up parked in the middle of the photo near Kinpash, the place where we are buying the guttering for the buildings. The "jam" is beginning to form.
Davinder Singh's place, where we are having our bunk beds made.
Some kids playing near Davinder's place.
Part of a new steel manufacturing plant being built on the Mombasa Road.
It's been raining here.
If you look closely you can see a huge bag of potatoes and a guy bent double underneath it.
Our lovely, to my eyes, completed tank stand and washing basins.
A rainstorm a few kilometers away dumping lots of water on Kitengela.
Me. Stuck in the mud on the way home from work. Another long haul out.
This is a human powered cart full of plastic containers, etc. You can see the second in command running alongside.
Sigi's Bar and Restaurant. Never been there. But soon, I hope.
Guys filling jerry cans with water for construction on the generator house.
David and I used to be fast friends. Now he cries nearly every time he sees me,
and can't wait to head on down the road.
One of the H-Tess guys cutting a fine 45 degree angle with just a stabilizer block for help.
A lot of hardcore laid out in front of a place in Athi River. Just like we've done here so many times.
A group of folks looking through a rubble pile for I'm not sure what.
Brit’s here. She says howdy. Monte’s coming.

Safe journey,
David

April 23, 2010 at 2:44 pmlittle David is probably bawling because he’s tired of helping unstick you from those muddy “shortcuts” you love.
he told me to refer you to Aesop, and think, “circuitous tortoise”…
–m.m.m.
p.s. that photo of The Water Bearers is an all-time classic.

April 23, 2010 at 10:53 pmThis from Chris, whose posting privileges remain suspended, evidently:
I’m temporarily holding Debi’s beautiful MacBook Pro with the big designer-quality screen, quaffing a Green Lakes ale in a Monterey café (in town from Rocky Creek for a friend’s memorial service)…so I can’t tell how much my appreciation of your big photo slide show is augmented by Debi’s laptop. But I think nonetheless that your fiddling is giving us a great new format. I know I’m typically too much in a hurry to click on each photo to enlarge it—but reading/following in this format is *great*. Amazing (though I’ve always known it) how much the size of the photos matters. Now I can climb right into them. Closest thing to sitting on a balcony, sipping a Tusker, and looking down on “old reliable” with you.
By the way, your road looks alot like Rocky Creek’s right now.
And the tank stand is a work of art.
Love,
Chris

April 23, 2010 at 10:56 pmHi Pat,
B says hi, and so does Sabobo. Many thanks for your work and especially your prayers, our foundation. When I get to Mary’s I’ll send along a photo of your beloved Bethany, now much bigger than you remember her.
Love to all the family, brother.
David

April 23, 2010 at 11:03 pmDear Martin,
I thought all kids liked to get muddy…and all that slipping and sliding.
I guess I’m more March Hare than roundabout turtle, to everyone’s detriment.
See you soon. Travel well, and bring tacos.

April 23, 2010 at 11:08 pmHi Chris,
I smuggled your entry passed Big Brother. The tank stand/washing basins sort of reminds me of a South Park character, but prettier.
Matt has been working on the website and doing a bang up job. Carrying on Charbel and John and Tony’s good work.
Gotta run. Getting the parts to connect the three big tanks.
Old Unreliable,
David
