After church this morning we decided to drive around in the country along highway 30 and do our best to get lost. Highway 30 was a part of the old Lincoln Highway which was one of the first paved highways in the US I believe.

Great reno, beats! Robbie - wonderful shots!! Atzec - you're taking the slot for best food pics! :) Oboy_oboy - little du is steezy!

No fancy cooking for me right now. My wife and daughter left yesterday for a school skiing trip, so I was minding things with the pups.

Lazy Sunday - dog walk, breakfast, etc, etc

What I was wearing

The floor reminds me I need to clean up before they return!

Hooked up with a friend and tried this:

Had an awesome hot sausage from my favourite vendor in front of MEC.

Tonight my ROYxCones stocked up on dried foods and water, and put together a go-bag. For the next week or so, the pocket of my ROYxCones will always contain my passport and a lot of cash in four currencies.

Friday marks Yoweri Museveni's attempt to extend his "presidency " for another five years, making 30 years total.

Here's to seeing if the anti-dictator fervor spreads south of the Sahara...

Last weekend my organization had a staff retreat in Kiyunga - about an hour outside of Kampala. Given that when I arrived a year and a half ago, we were 3 full-time staff and now we're 18, this was long overdue.

It was a remarkably effective few days, but you all don't want to see pictures of my ROYxCone-clad ass sitting in a meeting room.

BUT, ROYxCones did get to interact with some local fauna!

That's right, in Africa you can totally just kick it with giraffes, elephants and lions. We're homies.

Upon returning on Saturday, Homegirl and I popped in to Nakawa market.

IMG_0356.jpg

Markets here are like gigantic thrift stores - sometimes the clothes even still have the tags on them from American thrift stores! That means that this place is like a gigantic gold mine... I know somewhere in these piles are a pair of beautiful vintage denims waiting to be found... gah!

Some dudes making footlockers for boarding school students

Homegirl strikes a bargain

Seeing a lot of these types of images in anticipation of Friday's presidential election: swarms of cops being very demonstrably moved around the city.

Monday... you all know what day that was

A delicious bottle of red Homegirl brought back from her visit to Cape Town

IMG_0648.jpg

Went great with some bread, spicy-sweet relish spread and camembert

IMG_0649.jpg

And the main course: bacon, spinach and blue cheese stuffed chicken breasts. BOMB.

My jeans (5ep SDZ) and I had an unusual day. I went to work (I work at a warehouse that refurbishes Polaroid tvs and handles warranty and replacement services for Polaroid tvs and cameras) and did a bit of inventory. We have a TON of shit in our warehouse.

We have 4 rows just like this (these are all pallets full of tvs waiting to be repaired. I sorted them myself, and it took an ungodly amount of time):

IMG_0758.jpg

And here's me and my jeans, surrounded by cameras and tvs:

IMG_0761.jpg

We also have a bunch of other Polaroid stuff, but you get the idea.

When I went back to my computer to enter the inventory, I checked my email and my dad had sent me a picture of a school bus on fire AT A GAS STATION that he drove by on the way to work today:

IMG00002-20110216-0729.jpg

I left work early today because my dad got free front row (not on the court, but the seats directly behind the players, whatever that's called) tickets to the Timberwolves/Clippers game, so I threw on my new Sugarcane shirt and hat that I just bought from a fellow forum user:

IMG_0769.jpg

We ate at Hard Rock because it was across the street from Target Center. I've never been there before. Not a lot of vegetarian options. Go figure.

IMG_0770.jpg

Then we went to the game. I didn't get any game shots because I was too busy watching the game. This picture is not zoomed or cropped, btw:

IMG_0774.jpg

And my buddy saw me on tv and snapped a picture w/ his phone, heh...

Everyone in my section got a pass to meet Kevin Love after the game and get an autographed jersey, so we went back there once the game ended:

IMG_0778.jpg.

I didn't get a photo with him, nor an autographed jersey, but it was still fun.

Today was a strange, but pretty good day.
