11/6
Just some random thoughts I have had while being here.
- Who needs a lawn mower when you have cows?
- Why buy a vacuum when you have chickens?
- Georgians never heard the Greeks when they said everything in moderation (I’m talking mostly about alcohol).
- What goes through your head when you see a road sign over the highway near Tbilisi saying Tehran 800km?
- I tried to wipe the mud from my shoes on the grass in the yard but the cows ate it all.
- Did the Russians really have to bomb all the bridges near Gori? It really makes it hard to travel to Tbilisi. (Of course as far as military tactics go, I guess it makes sense). Russia I shake my fist at you.
- Why do the mice in my house have to pick 2 a.m. to play soccer with the walnuts?
- We lost power because it rained so much that the power line could no longer be supported by the ground it had been placed in.
