New feature on the blog!
Before you start on the two new posts below, I have an announcement to make. While I'm very glad to hear that most feedback on my blog is positive, I was thinking that there may be many things about Cameroon you would like to know that I'm not addressing. So, I was sweating myself to sleep the other night, and the idea came to me. I think I'm going to call it the 'Bogo Mailbag.' What is the Bogo Mailbag you ask? Well, I'll tell you. You send me (in the form of a comment on my most recent posts) any burning questions you may have about anything at all. Preferably, those questions should be related in some way to Bogo, Cameroon or my experiences in general. And then every month or so when the stars align and I have internet connection for more than 10 minutes at a time, I will respond to your questions in an honest and insightful manner. As I see it, the Bogo Mailbag will give you the reader a more interactive role on this blog just as it will give me the author, something constructive to do with my free time other than throwing a tshirt over my puppys head and watching him run around in panic. You think I'm joking, but I think even the indefatigable Timshel was worn out the other day after 45 minutes of the tshirt game. And just recently while in Maroua I was choosing my future reading material from the bookshelf in the Peace Corps house and I ended up with an Unabridged History of Scotland in one hand, and War and Peace in the other. Please don't allow me to read the Unabridged History of Scotland or War and Peace, and don't let Timshel be a victim to my sad and twisted games any longer. Send lots of questions!

You never answered where the name "Bogo" came from. My guess is still Buy One Get One, but that guess comes from owning too many Payless shoes.
Tell us what PC people do with their pets when they leave country. What's the long term plan for Timshel?
And I would be remiss if I didn't say hi to your ameobas. Hello intestinal pests!!!
I want to see the soccer dirt and the market.
I bet $5 Mom had to help him post that ;)
I want to know if you've had any embarrassing moments, and if so...DO TELL! Remember what doesn't kill you always makes for a great story.
Best of luck with those ameobas...definitely a testimony to you being an excellent host. We love you!

Glad you enjoyed your trip to the US. Do you have to treat the water you bring into your house? How receptive have local people been to you?

Dan,
I am Elizabeth Moore's (PCV in Mafa Kilda) Dad, and I want you to know that we love your blog. Next to hers, of course, yours is our favorite--but she has probably already told you that. We have laughed so many times when reading your entries.
She tells me that you have a very good friend who is in law enforcement who is either in or from Orange County, Va., where I am now working as a prosecutor. I would love to know who it is--I probably know him.
Feel free to answer in your blog or send me an email--rmoore@orangecountyva.gov.
Thanks. Keep up the good work, and the entertaining and informative blog entries.
Rick Moore
