- Are three cakes in the market to dance.
- I am going to buy the market in meat.
- When I look, I use my tv.
- When I look, I use my eye chair.
- Are you going bananas.
Currently serving my third year in a small town in Burkina Faso after having spent my first two years in a small village. This is a collection of thoughts to chronicle that service.

a little about burkina faso
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then.
Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.
