Another sign of changng seasons

I almost forgot to mention the TRUCKS! Cotton season is coming to a close in the next month or so. People will be out picking all the buds and piling them in huge mounds. Many, many trucks come from down south to transport the cotton from the fields and weighing stations to the factories in Kandi, Banikora, N'Dali, and Kahlale. They are all over the place and the drivers are not very careful / considerate. Since there are no sidewalks here, one must be very careful when you walk to town or go down the road to get something to eat. The winds have picked up and you can really start to see the dust in the air. I have imported Amy Van Goey's cat to help rid the Work Station of it's large lizard problem. He seems well adjusted to his temporary home and he has already had an impact on the lizards...I only wish his name was not Sardeenia (Amy thought is was a girl when she bought him)
