Today was the first day in at least a week I went outside and saw the sun. It was definitely Africa hot. Maybe 95-100 and the sun felt like it was 6 inches off of the back of my neck. It hurt.
A fire drill was the occasion. Nothing less would've pulled me out of my cave. Been working hella long hours every day, trying to solve the myriad problems on a very complex project of a type we've never done before as a ship, or company. It's challenging, but 18 hour migraine headaches are only interesting for a day or so.
I read in the Yahoo! news that just North of us in Nigeria, it was reported that one of two guys caught stealing a car, turned into a goat when cornered. I think the goat was charged with auto theft. Yes, interesting times in West Africa folks and don't trust the goat-man.
The only other interesting thing of note out here is that tonight at dinner I learned that if you smother half a lobster in cheese, it's hard to tell that it's been in the freezer for 18 months.
