bwanamrmWish me luck...
I'm off late Tuesday to start the trek to the Omay North in Zim with Martin Pieters to have a go at the lion roaming Tiger Bay. Mart and I are gonna give it a 110% effort! Let's hope Ol' Yellow Eyes wants to play...
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

See lion. Shoot lion. Live with the regret. What's luck got to do with it?
But good luck anyway.

I've PARPed about three times today, checked and rechecked weather and flights, funny how you still get that anxious knot in the pit of your stomach, even after all of the trips.

Only yesterday I was wondering if someone took up the challenge that Martin offered.
I know of a good way to get hobos of bait.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
