What's charcoal grey gunk doing in my hair?

That I don't know. I couldn't even put a comb through my hair after getting settled in from my trip from Tamba to Dakar today (9am-8pm). Outside of the fact we nearly beat the longest transit time between Tamba and Dakar..... a whoppin' 11 hours today. Oh yes folks. It took 11 hours to go 250 miles. I was ready to die. Never mind the fact that you could go to the states and partway back for that time period....

You know I even had a moustache of dirt on my face. Who needs sunblock when you have dirtblock? I wonder if I can market that... but I'm not sure why the dirt in my hair is charcoal grey? Is it car exhaust plus dirt? Usually dirt is brown... anyway I know I shouldn't be spending time talking about these things here.

I was going to tell you about the big rigamarole (what??? here, a rigamarole??) about getting a replacement part for our generator last week, but I'm pooped so I will save this for another day. for the moment you will have to be pleased hearing about gunky black dirt. What an exciting post...almost as exciting as finally getting to Dakar.
