Four

The first number to the answer of life, the universe, and everything. 42. Now this is weirdly ticklish. A bit apprehensive. A bit of yearning for more adventure. A bit just knowing I won't see these guys hauling a half-ton of bricks and rebar on a cart. By hand. Up hill.

A bit of wondering what changes the USA has gone through. What has the economy done to the landscape? are people hiding out in rubble with shotguns? Has Starbucks lowered the blast shields. Are the red evil devil eyes staring out? Now more lattes. The take over has begun.

What changes has the office gone through. How do I walk through the door of AECOM? Just like normal, sit down, get to work like no one's business. Hey, how come you're all here so early? I will miss thinking about how we could do projects here. Try writing a health and safety plan - just for crossing the street! That would be 3-inches thick on its own. Yeah, I don't so.

How long before India wears of? Maybe never? Part of it will never do that.

4 days.

Tomorrow I venture into Corbett Tiger Reserve. I understand the tiger sightings are up. The elephants are on the move. Matt will put on the anti-chicken smell and the anti-coconut shine. Kinda like the appendages and various pieces and parts I was born with. The jeeps are open to the air. At least the tigers are as lazy as AIG execs on a Palm Springs rejuvenation junta - on your tax dollars.

Where I am now is a little city called Ramangar. Noisy a f%#@. Near here is Corbett park named after Jim Corbett. He was the dude mostly responsible for "containing" the Man Eaters (I almost made a funny and said naan eaters) to the area now know as the Reserve. And that's exactly what was happening. The Man Eaters were surreptitiously slinking out of the jungle and dining on the local naan eaters. They didn't it was so funny. So in comes Jimmy-boy with his 416 Rigby and does a bit of crowd control. Subsequent to this success, India established one of it's first natural reserves here to study tigers, elephants, etc...

I'll let all y'all know how it goes. It may be a whirlwind what with the all day safari on Sunday and two half-day safaris on Monday. Then a train on Monday night. Then mostly sitting on my ass Tuesday in Delhi. I'll give it a go at uploading some photos. It's been a Parvati trying to do so.

Well, I'm going back to my mango grove guest house. I'm going to relax. Lounge on my bed. No, perhaps just sit at the bench and drink chai.

Ciao USA dudes and dudettes.

Love and naan and steak.
