Down the Stretch They Come!

One day closer. On the way home today the Accra DJ on the big radio station here announced that he was playing a song that signified a revolution in America; then the song "San Francisco" by Scott Mckensie came on and all of you who remember the late 60's will remember the tune. I do not know if one could say a revolution but things did start turning politically and in many other ways. The drug culture seems to have begun and unfortunately we have not figured out how to combat the terrible results that drugs appear to have caused. Well, thankfully, that issue or concern is not on my plate. I am trying to get all loose ends put together for my departure and am in good shape in that regard.

An observation...it has only rained twice since I have been here, once for an hour and once for a few minutes. I am told that the Dec weather turns even hotter and with more wind. In that connection, there is a wind on its way that is called the harmentun (phoenetic spelling) which they tell me is an orange mist coming out of the north, from the Sahara Desert. The orange color is due to the fine desert sand that comes in with the wind and gets on your face, on your clothes. and in your hair (not to mention,I assume your lungs). This maybe means that I came here at an ideal time weather wise.....See you in cyberspace tomorrow.
