The compound was short of fuel today so Cody and an armed guard and I went to Farasika to get some. Just as we pulled in, we saw that the front tire was going flat. After we got it changed, we saw that the spare was half flat so we pulled across the road to a place that had a generator and an air compressor. As they pulled out the air hose I saw that there was nothing on the end of the hose. Since there is no cell service, I thought we were dead in the water. To my surprise they were able to pump the tire up to full pressure. If anyone can figure out how they did it without putting something on the end of the hose, send me an e-mail. I will tell how in next blog and give credit to any one who sends me the right answer. I have to tell you if I had not seen it I would not believe that it would work. The first picture is of Andrea, one of the Maridi lineman. The scars on his forehead are done to people of his tribe--I do not know why. The second one is a sign on the main road through Maridi advertising a barber shop. The last is of me and Oscar, one of the contractors who left to go back to Juba today.
