Randomness of My Life

Here are some tidbits of the randomness of my life right now.

• Ben (my roommate) caught a rat with his bare hand – and decapitated it with his utility knife. Sweet.
  
• Hitchhiking and jerry rigged busses are my main form of transportation.
  
• I count dead toads-in-the-roads on my way to school (8 min walk = high of 43)
  
• Walking to Kelly and Raj's for game nights (or anywhere else at night) we carry sticks and rocks to beat wild dogs if they get to close.
  
• I sometimes get cold and put on jeans and a long sleeve shirt – then find out is 83°
  
• I cannot for the life of me find anywhere that sells diet pepsi in anything larger than a can.
  
• The biggest birthday parties here are for 1 and 2 year olds.
  
• You usually have to try a few times to call anyone here – and I cannot call Steve Mattis and only Steve Mattis on my phone.
  
• EVERYONE knows EVERYONE. So you can never do anything in public you don't want your students and co-workers to know about.
