You Know You’re From Johannesburg When… The person in front of you in traffic this morning was hijacked and you got irritated because you missed the traffic light. While eating dinner a news item comes on TV about a family of six slaughtered in their home, and you ask someone to pass you the salt….

Elephants!!!
My disclaimer: I know I don’t cut the elephant stories. It was Sunday 15th August, a phone call from our De-Snaring Team Leader in Voi alerted us to the fact that a young female elephant had been rescued near the Galana river, about 10 miles from the Sala Gate on the Eastern boundary of Tsavo…

Geeking out!
Shinto by Jorge Luis Borges When sorrow lays us low for a second we are saved by humble windfalls of the mindfulness or memory: the taste of a fruit, the taste of water, that face given back to us by a dream, the first jasmine of November, the endless yearning of the compass, a book…

AC Newman
I went to see AC Newman last night at the Echo Lounge, he is the also in the New Pornographers. The opening band was Rogue Wave, and the Neilds(?). Rogue Wave was a little to twee and poppy for me. I like AC Newman even though the New Pornographers have moments of reminding me of…

Sometimes I sit and think, sometimes I just sit. I recovered from my headache finally, I find my thoughts kaleidoscopic when I am in the throes of a headache, too many colours and ideas, all vying for a space. I am thinking about quitting sugar again. I want to go away soon, before the hurricanes……
aargh – whine bitch moan
Before I bitch too much let me just say I love the new Miss Kitten CD it reminds me of Danielle Dax. So this guy was in the store today and asked me where our experimental electronic section was, I replied the dance records are all over there. He says he is not looking for…
note
Two important things: first off the Elephant I posted about yesterday, at the end of the post he dies..it makes me so sad that his life was cut so short, elephants live for up to 80 years, they are intelligent and amazing creatures, his whole life was ended for sport. The second thing is The…
Elephants

Go to the website: http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/html/july212004.html and read the whole story and adopt an Elephant!
