Oh the things I see...

My current office overlooks busy Ngong Road. We are right near the intersection (roundabout) with Valley Road. I try not to have my windows open too much because of the traffic noise, but it gets stuffy in my office if I don’t open them some of the time.

Today when I had the window open a car alarm started going off. That’s common enough, but it wasn’t stopping so I got up for my chair to stretch and look out. And what did I see?

A small pick-up, like a little Mazda or something, with a full grown cow standing in the bed. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. It sat there for a while and I missed the point where it eased out into traffic. I just sat back down thinking – how now brown cow?

Jan said...

yes, Noel. Thanks, I was just telling someone else he wasn't a good proof-reader. :]

Are you sure you weren't in Lipan, TX?

Did he at least have panels on the side of his truck so the cow didn't jump out?

Nope, this is Kenya! He had iron bars on the sides and a tree branch through the back. I was more thinking it was to keep her from falling out.
