Midnight o'clock and I'm crawling into bed.
3:18AM and Pumpkin Pie wants outside.
So I getup and let her out, then back to bed.
At 5:27AM I'm once again up and on the move.
I find Pumpkin Pie curled-up in a ball next to the
scooter/sidecar. She races inside real fast and gets
The Monkey out of bed. Now there's two crazy dogs
playing grab ass as I try to put my jungle costume on !
OK, 11 maybe 12 minutes later the dogs are being
loaded-up into the sidecar. They will not calm down.
Well when the bike starts they do and all eyes are now
pointed forward. First stop is at the kitchen building and
all garbage bags are now strapped down on the tail gate.
By 6:13AM we are heading down the road towards the
entry to the mud cobra field. Morning air is quite cool.
It's cool enough to require a t-shirt under my normal
light cotton short sleeve shirt. Soon the dogs are
released and off they go at full speed ahead !
I wander on down to the rebuilt shelter and
wait for them to show up on their own time.
Looking back I see them racing back and forth
across between the palm oil trees with their
noses down on the ground. They're on the
track of some critter. They continue back
an forth with an urgency in their pace.
So I figure the best thing for me to do is
take off in the opposite direction and
maybe they will follow or maybe not.
Few minutes later I'm in the south/east corner
where you can't go any further. Turn off the
scooter and start whistling. Nothing !
Whistled again and again, nothing.
Just as I was about to send out another loud
whistle I hear a major dog fight off in the
distance ! Lots of screaming, barking
panic screaming and more loud
barking. Nothing I can do at
this point due to the
distance so I just
kept whistling.
FYI ---
The screaming is done by the other dogs.
Few minutes later all three hooligans came
running past me as if nothing has happened.
Didn't see any blood/bones or flapping hide !
Not a single mark on them, they're smiling ;-0
That also explains why they were tracking.
Sounded like 3, 4, or 5 other dogs. I've
seen them before, they hangout at
the local high school and get
a lot of food from them.
The housing for the high school students
and teachers is on the north boundary
of the mud cobra field. These dogs
stay on the other-side of the long
concrete wall but there's many
places 4 them to get through.
So a t-shirt was mentioned at the beginning
of this post. Now it's going to be mentioned
again. But first - See the heavy low bows of
the palm oil trees ? They are real heavy an
full of sharp pointy devices that will tear at
your soft skin. There's only one road here
that is wide enough for a truck to use and
that's the road going to the shelter. Now
there's space between the rows of trees
but the problem's the low hanging bows.
So of course that doesn't stop me, but it
almost stops me. Well it has stopped me
in the past, even has knocked me right
out of the saddle on a few occasions !
They smash into my face and arms taking
with it a pound of flesh but the scooter
can not slow down or it's like being
caught in a giant spiders web ;-0-
So here comes the part about the t-shirt.
If you want to go get a no# 2 pencil and
a scrap of paper for note taking now's
the time to do that. We'll wait for you.
We're over on the south/west side right
next to the berm with the river on the
other-side. Dogs are ready to move
on. Fire-up the scooter and here
we go. It's like a slalom course
using the trees as markers.
One rather large problem is the bows are
terrible here cutting and slashing at you
as well as the canvas top on the side-
car. And for todays door prize I hit
a rather large red ants nest on a
palm branch ! ;-0--- Disaster !
Said nest was about the size of a basket-ball.
And yes it exploded all over me and the
the scooter/sidecar. I bailed off and
started right in trying to get the
angry red jungle ants off !
This is like a Steven King nightmare !
If there was a hundred there was a thousand.
Red Army Ants eating me alive as I was
flailing wildly about in an attempt
to rid myself of the pain !
Now if I had only worn my thin shirt it
would have been much easier but
no I had to wear a t-shirt too !
For a good 20 minutes I'm stripping
down in a weak attempt to get the
ants off my body. Dogs are running
around laughing at me until one
ant bit The Monkey on the butt
and he freaked out too ;-)---
Finally made it back to the shelter and
started once again smashing red ants
that were now appearing out of the
thin blue sky. Even on the trip home
I had to stop and get one out of my
helmet an out of my Power Boots.
That was a Murphy trap for sure !
But I fought back and won ;-)---
Once we arrived home the dogs
were fed and then put to bed.
The End.
Thank You.

December 25th is not only Christmas but also Riley's birthday. He was 7 years old this year.
I think he was too embarrassed in this getup to even look at the camera.

I so miss this getup and heels. 💔😥
Explaining to the local lil street hoods who James Brown is..their reply was "why don't you paint Rhianna?" - my reply "No comment".
The Chimbu skeleton tribe.
I have found different origin stories for this tribe. Why do they paint themselves like this? It's a hard to tell but below are 2 of the most common reasons.
According to their folklore the skeleton based getup was initiated as a way to scare other tribes, with death and ghosts provoking fear across the spectrum of the tribes of Papua New Guinea. Thus the aim was to make enemies think they were supernatural and thus held other worldly powers.

The origins of the Skeleton Tribe can be traced back to an intriguing legend. Approximately 200 years ago, a significant number of hunters ventured into the mountains but failed to return. This mysterious disappearance raised alarm among the valley dwellers. Determined to uncover the truth, a brave group of warriors embarked on an expedition to explore the mountains.
As they ventured deeper into the rugged terrain, the warriors stumbled upon a cave. Inside, they discovered a chilling sight – an abundance of human skeletons. However, their attention was quickly drawn to a colossal monster lurking within the confines of the cave. Realizing the imminent danger, the warriors devised a clever plan to outsmart the monster.
To deceive the creature, they decided to paint their bodies with skeleton bones made of black and white clay. Diligently, they meticulously recreated the appearance of the fallen hunters, meticulously blending the painted bones with the actual ones. The ruse succeeded, and as the monster slumbered, the victorious warriors stealthily made their way back to the safety of their village.
