Ranked #1 in the World
Last week, our house was flooded in the middle of the night. Each of us had a very different perspective on the event, so we thought it would be interesting to share them all. Without further adieu…
CARRIE’S STORY
I still don’t know why I woke up. Perhaps it was because the rotary fan blowing in my room was failing to prevent my sweat from penetrating my pajamas. Or maybe it was because the sound of the rain falling on the corrugated plastic skylight in my bathroom was so loud I thought it might shatter. It also could have been the flashes of light that periodically filled my room only to leave the darkness even darker…
ROB’S STORY
I awoke to a tentative tap on my door. Two thoughts slowly wandered across my groggy mind: “I probably just imagined that.” “If I didn’t imagine that, whoever it is will go away.” Again came the mouse-like tapping. I thought it was probably Jules – some evenings he comes to talk and make sure everything is going well. Upon hearing my hoarse invitation to come in, my mystery visitor – Carrie, it turned out – slowly opened my door and edged her way in my room…
MIKE’S STORY
Oh, how the rain came down! It rains in Kigali almost daily but nothing like this. This tropical rain was falling in sets of blistering long waves averaging 1 to 2 minutes in length.
I had laid down to bed at 11PM and still found my self stirring an hour later. The rain was so loud and violent that I could feel it in my chest, creating a vicious cerebral cycle…
CHADD’S STORY
KNOCK! “Chadd don’t get up!” It was one of those knocks that has less to do with preserving your privacy than with announcing an abrupt entrance.
Lights flipping on immediately accompanied my intruder’s rude entry.
Hunched over a short squeegee, eyes wide, Rob informed me the house was flooding. I looked at the floor. Well I’ll be a son-of-a-er-gun – flooding indeed…

Hello. What is the current situation in RW ?
1. Which routes (and border crossings) are drive-able with bridges safe for crossing?
2. Buses/trains affected?
3. Diseases(water-borne) isolated or wide-spread?
4. Security (rebels, warfare) – safer or increased danger, in what areas / roads?
Many thanks for any input.
I will be travelling the countries (UG,KE,TZ,RW,BU) around Lake Victoria, starting March 22.
I am flexible on my route over-land (and transport train, bus, car).

This is sort of a double whammy on cheap shoes online. If excessive pronation does not cause injuries to the degree that everyone thinks, and if buy shoes online don’t even alter pronation, what’s the point of a motion control shoe?

At this time it appears like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform
out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
Nevertheless think about if you added some great graphics or
videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
Good blog!

of higher education.

Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you
know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure
why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

I’ve learn this publish and if I may I wish to suggest you some attention-grabbing things or advice. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I want to learn more issues about it!

Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your weblog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
Please shoot me an e-mail if interested. Many thanks!

Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not fail me as much as this particular one.
After all, I know it was my choice to read, however
I really believed you would probably have something helpful
to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you can
fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.
If you know of any please share. Appreciate it!
