Rule of thumb: Anything sold in Angola with "quality" in title is absolute rubbish.

Examples: Hongda "German-Quality" Tools or "Quality" brand 15 micron trash bags.

@vpfree @laurchastain22 Different kinds of irony. I meant "comic irony:" one's intentions are betrayed by their contradictory actions. I.e. using Twitter to say pastors should not confront narcissism bc someone wrote a book about narcissism in the pastorate. Many books say the same about social media.

@laurchastain22 Did you ask what he meant? Or did you use your platform to shame him because you assume he fits the statistical model?

I am not justifying his mistake. I only draw attention to the fact that you are participating in the same problematic system that you critique.

If anyone is bored, please come over and watch my drunk neighbor chase a chicken around his yard.

One my students suggested that African nations should send Peace Keepers to the USA to facilitate a peaceful transition of power. Perhaps a coalition government. That usually works...

There are two kinds of people: those who think, "I will wait until this truck passes and cross the street," and those who think, "A truck is coming! I better hurry up and run into the street."

I am always surprised by what plays on the radio here. At the moment, Hotel California. I wonder how many other Eagles fans reside in Angola.

I love irony. Like watching the grocery store clerk reach his finger underneath his face mask to pick his nose.

I just heard the hokey pokey on the radio, translated into Portuguese. Globalization is evil.

Irony. In order to implement proper social distancing, everyone waits outside the cathedral for their turn to enter.

When people ask what I do, I typically say that I teach the Bible. Often leads to questions about my thoughts on difficult issues. Today's Q surprised me. "Is it a sin to drive a Ford truck?" I know some of my Arkansas friends have opinions. I have no idea where the Q came from.

I nearly always finish all the food on my plate. Mom & Dad would be proud. But today I had to stop because my jaw hurt. Never again will I buy the cheap steak at the grocery store cafeteria.

On the radio today, "Citizens need not worry. Our hospitals have sufficient stock of face masks, surgical gloves, and cadaver bags to get us through this crisis."
Something about this message seems less than reassuring.

In the last 72 hours, a midnight blue Ford Mustang and a fire engine red Chevy Camaro showed up in our city. They stand out among the ubiquitous rugged trucks, taxi busses, and little compact cars. I have so many questions...

[Robert Meyer @AngolaRob]

A lot of things are significantly more expensive in Angola than they would be elsewhere. But my son just got a haircut for $0.41.
