Three Tragic Tales from the Tropics

There are harsh lessons to be learned out here in the Heart of Darkness. One must be on the top of his game just to survive. A chap unscathed is a fellow unlived, though.

Lesson Learned #1:
Don't drink and shoot things. It leaves a scar.




Lesson learned #2:
Don't run a marathon around and atop Table Mountain. It'll leave infected blisters. And a scar.





Lesson learned #3:
Don't shove your foot into bicycle spokes while barefoot. It'll snap your toe in three. And will leave a scar.








More maulings to come in the coming months, to be sure. Summer's on it's way.

Carrefour Discount Coulommiers

I had no idea what I was going to say if questioned as to why I was taking a picture of arguably the worst cheese in Carrefour. However, some strategic loitering about in the isle for 10 minutes allowed me to choose my moment well, without prying French eyes. As far as I can see they don't advertise this product. Anywhere. But, it is in the cheese isle. And it clocks in at €4.26/kg.
