POST OFFICE

In Metro Moore County we have at least ten maybe eleven zip codes. This is a problem I have been working on since Al Gore was for assault weapons, and talked faster. I even called the Postmaster General in Washington D.C., without any success. Most of our state and federal needs assessments are conducted using the Lynchburg zip code 37352, the other zip codes are left out, and so is Metro Moore. Having so many zip codes makes keeping sales tax records more difficult, and tracking the children that should be going to our schools almost impossible. Dish and Direct satellite company's base there local channels on zip codes some zip codes in Metro Moore get Nashville stations while others get Huntsville. This presents a problem with school closings. Many people think Motlow College is in Tullahoma because of the address. There will be a meeting in Mulberry tonight about closing the post office. We can express our views, but we just as well be talking to ourselves, because the decision has been made to close the post office and retain the zip code. We will have to go to Fayetteville where it is more inconvenient, and the same problems will persist.

HEAD NUT

DUNG HUT

This is the kitchen inside one of the dung huts, I didn't see one foreclosure sign in Kenya.

MAASAI CHILDREN

These children are smart and eager to learn, we brought school supplies, but they knew math even if it was drawn with a stick in the dirt. Our president must have received his education in the U.S.A.

MAASAI TRIBESMAN

One tribesman is choosen to go to college, he returns and educates the children. The ones that have there ears cut have not attended school.

Cheetah

This was a group of seven I could not get them all in one shot.

Rothchild's Giraffe

There are three kinds of Giraffe , and I was fortunate to see all three.

Cape Buffalo

These animals can run you up a thorn tree. Almost all trees in Africa has thorns.

Wildebeast

You can see these by the thousands, it's like the bison of the west once was.

Lesser Kudu

These are hard to see.

Crocodile

This Crocodile was waiting for the migrating Wildebeast to cross the river.

BACK OF CASTLE

This is where the help stayed, thank goodness they have experienced hope and change over the past fifty years, and they don't have to live in castles anymore.

LORD EGERTON CASTLE

Unfortunatly there are still reminders of British control, before the Kenyan's were given there freedom in 1963.

PROGRESS

Kenyan's are not held back by OSHA.

GOING GREEN

As you can see going green has really helped.

MARKET

This used to be one of the cleanest city's in Africa.

Birth Certificate

After many days of searching, the Republican Elephant with a good memory took us to Mombasa where we found the birth certificate. What an adventure!

Elephant

The elephant lead us on the right path, around the shovel ready roads to Mombasa.

Republican Elephant

This elephant remembered he was born in Mombasa in 1961, before Kenya got it's independence from the British. We were to follow him and he would lead us to the birth certificate.

Richard was our armed guard, and was very helpful.

This soldier was not helpful, he spoke only Swaheli even though he was carrying a British 303.

Safari Guides

These guides helped, but still no birth certificate.

Kenyan Military

We even asked the military to help.

Masa Mara

We stayed in a tent, Jackson brought us coffee in the morning, and put hot water bottles in our beds to warm the sheets at night. It was like an old Tarzan movie. We still couldn't find the birth certificate.
