Shipping and Monster Jam!
First I will try to give you an update from Guinea and then from California!
Norm is working so hard to get out house all packed up and shipped to Dakar. He has been sleeping about 5 hours a night so that he can get as much done as possible and try to work during the [...]

There was a holiday photo contest and Debra (along with thousands of others) posted a picture. She was surprised to find out that she had won! Special thanks to Kathleen who took the [...]

We visited the Lincoln museum which for me was very [...]

Read onAnimal Transportation in Guinea
Sometimes Debra and I like to search for pictures of Guinea and see what we can find. I found a Guinea group on Flickr and soon came upon the following photo. Debra glanced at it and said, ‘wow, that is a pretty big dog!’ Then I pointed out that the poor animal in the trunk [...]
