Hello Everyone,
 
Hope you are having a great day.
 
Heat's been picking up the last few days.  Getting steadily warmer.  Lows at night are in the 80's.
 
Yesterday's bizarre news:  While out with Payton and Ethan I received a phone call from Janice.  She said that one of our workers, who was hired to dig a trench for a new power line we're installing, was taking a break from work to wash his clothes.  You see, most Chadians was their clothes in big round tubs and he'd taken the time to grab two of ours, fill them with water, grab some soap and started to wash.  All this in plain view of our front door.
 
Janice called to tell me what was going on.  After a few seconds of discussion, she decided to go outside and tell him to stop.  She did so and when I got home I asked what he said.  He said, "Oh!". 
 
Only in Chad will a worker think it is ok to stop working to wash his clothes.  The funny thing is that if he had just asked to wash them after he got done with work we would have said, "sure".  It's just a little bit of water and some soap.  Heavy sigh.
 
See you later.
