Update & then some...

I almost didn't make it this week (at least one post a week), but I did make it (whew!).

This is very hurried and will be pretty boring, maybe a little bit repetitive, (at least the first part).
So, the frame of the deadly billboard remains as it has been for a while now.



I guess it'll remain like this for a while (maybe until it causes some havoc)

Earlier this week, I was driving to work when this garbage truck joins in ahead of me. I was so fascinated by what I was seeing behind the truck that I deliberately missed my turn and went all the way to the end of the road (I really just wanted a picture, and I was willing to risk my new baby, but not enough to hurry up and get off at my exit).

What was so fascinating? There was the usual guys (2) hanging behind the truck, but there was this one other guy sitting, and he was actually napping behind the truck (I'm not kidding). Sad thing is, when I finally got round to taking that picture, he'd woken up :(

was he just hitching a ride with them or was he actually working?

I'm just wondering. How safe is it? Even for the 2 hanging guys? I know we got to have hanging guys at the back of garbage trucks (somebody has to carry the bins to the truck) but really, isn't there an alternative. As for the guy napping, (I really don't know what to say).

And it wasn't like the truck was moving at a slow pace. There's virtually no traffic on the Oxford Street that time of the day, and I had to speed up to keep up with the truck (you should've seen the speed with which the truck exited at its turn. it was so fast and sharp that I couldn't follow even though I'd wanted to).

Kwaku Doe - Napping

I don't really write much (at all) about Kwaku Doe these days cos I use a different route to work. I pass by him on my way home though but I can't interact with him cos of the direction I approach him from.

So of course I was thrilled on Saturday when I had to go out and I went by his spot. Imagine my disappointment when I dint spot him. I actually had my motivator ready, together with a bunch of questions I wanted to ask him, but seems I went by at the wrong time. I did see him eventually but he was lying comfortably (he looked like he was) on the sidewalk with a cement block as his pillow. I almost motioned for him to come, but then again I doubt if he'd have been thrilled to have had his afternoon nap disrupted because of a GH¢0.50 coin.
