Pinball or Video game?

When the kids were home, they played video games with their dad.  Tom was very competitive and really liked to win.  He did not like to lose.  Sometimes the air was tense and all were glued to the screen with white knuckles and flying fingers.  My grandson is following in the same footsteps.

Well, traffic in Tanzania is so much like the time with the white knuckles and things flying past your vision.  It is sometimes like you are in slow motion but you better be on your toes.  With slow bicycles weaving in and out, motorcycles coming down the middle white line both ways, walkers trying to find a crossing place, wooden pushcarts with loads of cement blocks or grain , herds of animals, fast driving public transport vehicles, overloaded buses, big blue trucks loaded with rocks or people which are coming side-ways at you, and many unbelieveable and unexplainable things to distract and disturb the natural easy flow of normal traffic.  Did I say normal?  Did I say natural easy flow?   That does not describe the traffic here in Arusha.  It is "dog eat dog. " No turning back or backing up, . . .all forward and fast . . .and if you see a hole in the traffic or on the opposite side of the road, take it! Don't worry.  The police are almost worthless.  They won't stop you when you do this.  Unless they want tea or a present. 

You need to pray for your missionaries in foreign countries.  We have unbelieveable traffic and it is the most dangerous thing we do.  We face death so many times on the road.  We overwork our guardian angels!
