If you were wondering how Ugandans mow all the grass that they have, here ya go. Just imagine if you had to do this instead of having a zero-turn mower. They gave the guy who "mows" around here a weedwacker, which was a MAJOR upgrade, and he was ecstatic.

Funny story about that: When we were in Rwanda, we drove by the ministry of defense building, and there was a huge grass lawn that went from the building to the road, probably a good 10 acres. The Bennets told us that they mow the whole thing with weedwackers, with an army of like 15 guys.
The quantity and variety of birds here is amazing.
This little one got a catterpillar right before my eyes.
Here is that video of me on the swing at the Davises a while ago.

Reminds me of when we were in Jamaica and we saw two low-tech jobs being done. First of all, a guy cut down a whole tree (not too thick, but about one story high) using only a machete. Secondly, a plumber came to fix a pipe under our floor, and the only tools we saw were a trowel and maybe a wedge. (The trowel might have served as the wedge...) Oh, we Americans with our garlic presses and remote control garage door openers. What wusses we are! :)
