Motorcycles & Driving

One of the worst things about living here is that you can not drive yourself. I really didn't think I would miss it that much but when your driver is asleep in the car and you have to wake him up to take you somewhere you kind of feel bad. Don't get me wrong our driver is really nice and I wouldn't trade him for another one but it is hard to watch him just sit in a chair all day while I go exercise or watch TV. He stays at our house until about 2 when he leaves to go get Kenny. Usually, I don't need to go anywhere but maybe once a week. When the boys were home I would let him go over by Kenny's work and he could go to one of the staff houses and eat lunch and watch TV and talk to other drivers. Now that the boys are in school I have to have him stay here incase I need him to go get the boys because of an accident or if one of them get sick. We have been looking for a little TV for him to watch while he waits outside but haven't found one yet.

Motorcycles are everywhere here. This morning on the way home from school I seen more than one going the wrong direction down the street. You would think if they did this they would be on the side of the road but not this one he was driving down the middle of the road. The police were parked on the side of the road and did nothing, everyone just kept honking at him. The other thing I have noticed about them is their helmets. The helmets that I seen this morning included a regular one, a hard hat and one of those plastic baseball helmets that kids have for dress up.
