Street Brawl

The loud-mouthed one is Gaius. The guy in the red pants in the kabukabu driver that "bash his car". The guy in the white and blue shirt who went away briefly is the one who came with the turpentine (you can see him sort of cleaning the paint off).

Some filler info: the kabukabu driver had a passenger who faded from the scene as soon as we cleared off the road. That's who Gaius is talking about at the end. That guy he's talking to at the end is the same one from across the street that he stood yelling at after everyone had left. I'm still struck by how much time they spent "conversing" patiently, especially since dude from across the street really didn't need to stick around to be yelled at!

So sorry about the sync problem - dunno how to fix it. Hope you can enjoy it anyway.

hey, yes, thanks for the reply on my blog! my brother told me about stopping by your brother's house in Abuja. Nice to make these connections! Laura is in north GA working as an EMT. My brother is in Atlanta, as I'm sure he told you. I am in the mid-west in a PhD programme in African Literature. Funny how small the blog-world is...

Well, the thing's okay. I'm a bit disappointed that a few slaps weren't exchanged. If only it were Benin or Warri...
