Conclusion

Well, it's been a good run. 300+ posts in just over three years. I've enjoyed sharing my experiences, though of late, blogging has begun to feel like more of a chore than a healthy way to express myself. I thought I would migrate over to Facebook or Twitter, but I've found myself spending a lot of time on Quora lately, so that's probably how I'll be expressing myself, at least for a little while now. I will leave the blog up for a while, but I don't expect that I'll come back to posting. Hope you've enjoyed the ride.

Local Animals

This is my dog Mandazi (or Dazi for short), which is like a Tanzanian donut. She's about 6 months old and we've had her for nearly 4.5 months. She wishes she were an inside dog, which is why she is trying to climb in our window here.

Dazi mostly eats fish, bread and milk (as well as leftovers). Sometimes, she takes it upon herself to track down rats from the drainage area and bring them home. It's pretty gross. Also, one time she bit our neighbor's chicken. The neighbor wasn't exactly thrilled.

This dog followed me for about a mile one day. I really liked him, but I knew that our neighborhood wouldn't appreciate me bringing another dog home. Still, I was impressed with how fast he could move on three legs. I even decided that I would call him Lefty. Is that cruel?

This was a massive turtle I saw right near our house. Too bad s/he was super-shy.

Seasons greetings, readers!

My apologies that I've written nothing about what's been going on in my life the last two months. This month, I fought off a couple of infections and I started sleeping incredibly erratic hours, so I haven't felt a lot like writing. And to be honest, there hasn't been a whole ton of excitement in my life. Still, I am hoping to get two more posts up here before the new year.

Stay tuned :)
