Made it home despite Kevin Mitnick

Hey there everyone, just back inside from a snowy day here in Ohio.  I fed and watered the chickens, its too cold for anything else IMHO.

On the way back I snapped a few photos of local things.  Finally we got to Kampala and Entebbe Airport and I got to the departures hall.  At security I had a big bunch of journals to take back to the US for Ngozi.  In Dubai they thought they were bibles and questioned them.  I figured the security in Kampala would question the books because I had many.  They only were concerned with my Kevin Mitnick business card in my wallet.  "Why do you have tools?"  "Its a business card with a funny shape, it looks like electrical circuitry."

I left Uganda on Tuesday and spent a little over a day in Dubai looking at big buildings and reflecting on how strange it is how your life can be so different if you are born in one place vs another.

This could be the road running past your village.

Or the road running past your village which contains the world's tallest building.

You may understand that construction is something that shows improvement.

Or you may live in a place of beauty that is constantly challenged to improve simple things like roads and safety.  

All in all Uganda is wonderful.  Know it isn't as safe as your little neighborhood but also know the people there are genuinely nice.  If you feel like you don't want to go, I have a few great projects you can help me with.  I have 3 basic pet projects now, I will probably blog further about them when they are more designed.
