6th, 2010 Frankfurt-USA
I
got nailed Tuesday with bug bites. My best guess is that they are biting fleas
that were in the grass at the Farmer’s Training Center. I stopped to take pictures and a couple of
hours later noticed that my legs were itching.
I can’t think of any other way that I would have picked them up. I guess that I should have sprayed my pant
legs down. Now I get three days of
itching legs.
In
the Sheraton I drifted off in the business lounge listening to the John Adams
Biography. I was awakened at 1:00 by
security telling me that it was closing.
I walked back over to the airport to wait for the ticket people to
arrive. I went into the bathroom, shaved
and put on my thermal top because it was a bit chilly. I fell asleep again listening to John
Bytheway. I slept fairly well considering that I was sitting in an airport
chair. I pulled a luggage cart over to
prop my feet on to be more comfortable.
The
other flights were booked so I had to settle for my original itinerary. I went through customs again into the terminal
and tried to sleep more but I wasn’t really tired so I read more of the Old
Testament and the accompanying Sunday school lessons. It is so nice to have all of the church
material on my iphone. I can easily pull
it out and read from where I left off. I
have tabs in each of the standard works, the hymns, and several of the manuals.
It has been really nice as I travel to and in Ethiopia because there are many
times when I am waiting for someone or something and I can just pull out my
phone and read.
I
was very disappointed with the movie selection on our flight to the US. We were on an older plane so they just had
the group screens. They showed four movies, the first three were “romantic
comedies” that all promoted sexually promiscuity. Our society is fed so much of that garbage
that it is accepted as normal behavior.
No wonder there is so much confusion as to what is right and what is
wrong. We really do live in troubling times. I was able to listen to the rest
of the John Adams biography and sleep on the way.
I
started at the Addis Airport Thursday morning at 7:30 am which would have been
Wednesday night at 10:30 pm.
