Just another typical afternoon.

I saw the following on the commute home from work by boda-boda:

  • a police truck with about 15 men in the back, full blue camouflage, rifles in hand.
  • boda-boda drivers hopping the curb to use the sidewalk because traffic in the street was too backed up for their liking.
  • a full-size couch being moved to another location on the back of a rusty bicycle by a single man.
  • women with overripe bananas in large bowls on their heads and babies slung onto their backs. 
  • bald-headed children in matching uniforms headed home from school, many looking no older than five, walking alone.
  • a flock of approximately 14 goats without a herder running wild and lost along the side of the road.
  • a man cutting huge pieces of ironwork halfway in the street sending flaming sparks about 6 feet into the air in all directions.
  • nothing else out of the ordinary.
