Hong Kong photos

A couple of photos from my trip to Hong Kong last summer (which I finally copied off my friend's memory chip).

Mosquito nets for Senegal and Gambia!

I am just copying and forwarding this from the Friends of Senegal and the Gambia listserve:

Dear Friends,

Before the holidays we asked for your support to provide Senegalese and
Gambians with 60,000 mosquitoes nets, throughout the PCV communities. *PCVs
still need your support to raise $30,000, which will reach the target of
another 20,000 nets.
*


“We need as much help as possible from all interested be it $5 or $100.  *
100%* of the donations buys nets – not a cent comes off the top. Funds
raised are matched dollar for dollar by the Against Malaria
Foundation.” Against
Malaria Foundation is a 501c3 organization providing nets all over the
world, www.againstmalaria.com

Been shoveling a lot of snow...

Cabin fever escape

I finally made it out of the house yesterday and got some real food (made in a restaurant).  Anyway, this is my contribution to DC's snowpocalypse photo collection.

Empty shelves

Empty shelves, just like in Communist countries. Proof that a Bolshevik revolution is indeed happening in America? 

No, but it might snow tomorrow.
