Larry identifying faces and places from the 1960s

Tuesday morning, I was in the office doing more identification of old pictures and laying out a huge map to prepare it for mounting and display. It will be hung in the main entrance area to show the different locations of our partners, places that are reached by the broadcasts and other interesting information about TWR Bonaire.

This cockroach's body is 2-1/2 inches long (over 4 inches if you include its antenna)

I did see a cockroach at the office. It was dead, which is a good thing. I really don’t enjoy killing those huge crunchy things. Yuck!!!

I went to the transmitter site with Larry in the afternoon and later went shopping. The shelves were pretty empty. With the threat from Hurricane Tomas, no shipments were coming in. Even the fruit vendor was closed. One of the days when I was at the Warehouse Supermarket, I saw some lunch meat with a face on it. I did take a picture, but didn’t buy any! (see below)

If you look closely, egret is at the left.

While at the transmitter site we did see flamingos and wild donkeys, as well as the resident egret on the property. That was fun. It was as good as zebra and wildebeest at TWR Swaziland transmitting site.

We had about 3 inches of rain overnight.

Because of all the rain our backyard is now a swamp! We have gone from 12 inch grass to desert looking ground to three inches of water. By Saturday the grass should be growing well again, as it is already poking green sprouts through the water!

Is that the face of a frog in the meat? Could it be frog leg bologna?!
