Elephant country
The photos show the place we are staying and the heat of the sun by 7:30 am
may give you the sense it's blazing. I refer to this inescapable heat as the, " Ill Tempered Sun "
In the shade we read 92 on the temperature gauge but have added 10 degrees more under the sun. I walked under the shade of our umbrella.
The local people living in this vicinity live with the constant. ever present threat of the wild elephants. These live under such risk to life and limb. Largely due to the lawlessness in the jungle borders with the armed militia. The elephant reacts aggressively.
The very act of returning home at night on the motorcycle is far from benign. We have seen fires along the road for xtra light and as an attempt to turn away any oncoming elephants, but the alarm of sightings rise as the sun sets. The land cools , the winds blow and the herds begin moving.
Two months ago a young woman was coming back to her home here on her motorcycle and when dropping the package, she stopped to retrieve i She was then attacked and killed by the elephant . .

Sad and tragic loss. In light of all the precautionS, these animals are largely unpredictable.
These visits by the marauding. Hulks have come in the cool if the night and Jim and I hear only the short and rhythmic pops of firecrackers. One mornings we were shown a coconut tree , plummeted and pushed over for the coconuts.
After dinner We left for the evening session of the marriage seminar .
As I listened and joined in with the laughter , punctuated appropriately during the sessions his obvious enjoyment with his students , has become his signature style.
It is recognized as a warm tribute to his method of teaching, and the passion which has made his work so memorable through these Past 27 years .
His knowledge of random information , inserted with his customary expressions , finds favor and easy assimilation . Through these years he additionally has acquired various cultural nuances and this has enriched the work,
He is a gifted Missiologist .
If you know my husband Jim, you know he has an unreal amount of information that he makes work for him. It is respectable. He warms hearts to himself .
He remains equally interesting in every culture to hear and watch.
Just avoid trying to untangle the into nations of English once home.
. To sum it up, I like this quote .
". The secret of success is to go through life As a man who never gets used up . "
