Breaker, Breaker

I don't know about you guys, but I travel a LOT in the summer. That being said, I see a LOT of State Troopers. This site should help with the heads up on the position of the "Smokeys".

More from Vanuatu

Got an update from Matt, my buddy in the Peace Corps in the South Pacific. He seems to still be loving it. I believe he's really assimilating into the culture for sometimes in the middle of a sentence he'll bust out in some words that are certainlly not english. If you remember, last time he wrote he talked about "a bit of devil infestation". Well, acccording to his letter that kinda shit must not be too uncommon:

....Last week I went to a 10 day death ceremony up in a village in the middle bush, got shmammered on kava and got blackmagiked. I awoke various times throughout the night in different rooms of my house and even outside with my bushknife in my hand. There was something pounding on my front and back door all night and each time I opened the door, bushknife in hand (consciously this time), no one was there. A lot of other shit went down that night that I can't even put into words, but the strangest thing was the Chief of my village who accompanied me to the ceremony told me this exact story happened to him before I told him it happened to me and he said he finally fell asleep at 4 AM (I just gave him a watch), which is the exact time things got quiet and I slept at my house. I asked him if someone put something in the kava, but he said that someone did a "kastom singsing" and blew on the kava. Anyway, hemi olsem long Ambae....

Day four in my hometown of Louisville, KY. My buddy, Sanders, came in unexpectedly, so I decided to stay a few extra days. Looks like it'll be New Years in the River City!!!
