I miss Godwin...

Now Nigerians are not really famous for being great drivers, because well many of them aren't.  But I always felt safe with Godwin.  Not so here.  It is the little things, like the idea you can drive around a red light...

And we are pretty sure the white box is empty.

What can I say... I was bored, had a new power tool, and the heat was killer...

Visa reset

Yesterday was a long day.  Visas in China are complex, each country has a different program.  I have a one year visa that I am told can be extended to almost three years, the catch is I have to leave the country every 90 days.  I just finished my second pass at this by making a one day trip to Hong Kong and back.  See Hong Kong, is, but isn't China.  The "One country, two systems" thing only makes sense to the Chinese.  But as always interesting things happen on the trip, the one that struck me as outragously funny yesterday was this:

What looks like an out of focus picture is actually a cloud forming inside the cabin of the airplane when they turned on the air conditioning.  The funny part is how everyone just kind of ignored it.  At one point you could not see more than about 5 feet.  The flight staff and most the passengers didn't ignore it, just behaved like it wasn't happening.  Surreal.

Another long day...

It is almost 7:00AM, it is 89 degrees, it is 92% humidity... damn, another long day.

Clearly not water...

I don't know what I stepped in, but it did this to my very expensive, size 15, oil-resistant, Wolverine work boots:

That stuff that looks like asphalt stuck to the bottom of my boot is actually the melting sole of my boots.  Something I stepped in turned my very comfortable boots in to large poisonous gummy bears.
