March 18

thursday night, 7:49 PM, all is well. we bought a new cell phone today as the two phones we were given during training are ded finis (that's bislama for dead, pronounced dead finish), the highlight of the day (buying the new cell phone was the day's highlight).

We took a shortcut on the way back from the store that involved walking through saltwater; the cat freaked out, jumped out of my arms and straight into the saltwater. I think she hated it with all her heart and soul. She cried the rest of the walk home and refused to be carried. All is well now, she's out hunting.

Our parrot friend is crying.

fyi-The picture is not with our parrot friend, but another tame one.
