Last week was Halloween, and a buddy of mine decided to have a party at his place in the small river-side village of Sapu near Brikama-ba. I wasn’t sure if I was going to go or not, but in the end I decided to go. I figured that my work would still be here when I got back, and I haven’t gone anywhere since August, so a few days of R&R wouldn’t make or break anything.

Okay, so the first pic is a still life only in the sense that it’s a photograph. Check out the video though, it’s hilarious - Rhythm just goes tearing around tormenting these sheep that are only trying to protect this little baby lamb between them all. And Rhythm just goes racing around them, darting out of the way when one tries to ram her - no fear, just play. Nothin’ but play. What a great dog.

(Incidentally, these were taken by my now failing camera in Tara’s compound when I came to pick Rhythm up after my trip to Sapu - stay tuned for a post on that trip, I’m working on it, but there’s a lot to say so it’s a long one at several thousand words).

Actually, you can’t check out the video… I can’t upload it. It’s 16 megs and the web interface for uploading stuff times out before I can upload it, and I can’t use FTP because these computers in the PC lab are really locked down. I’ll try to use the systems at GTTI to upload the video, but the internet there is flaky and everything’s all virused up, so I’m sort of paranoid about plugging any of my flash drives into those systems. Well, at least you have the photos for now. Too bad about the video though, it’s really funny.
