You can tell how educated a person is just by a picture and that guy in the middle looks mighty stupid. You should probably read your tagline.

You've been a nice guy for a long time Birdman. That's a fact, but sometimes he's a little to nice, he needs to get riled up a little once in a while.

Just came across some old photos.... July of 1982, me and a buddy hiked north across the Afram Plains, an area historically depopulated due to Ashanti slave raids. Seventy miles of roadless bush, then home to a remnant West African elephant population. This was at the top end, a town of 1,000 people who hadn't seen a White man in five years.. Skinny as a frickin' rail due to the food, climate and lifestyle. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50061286233_10e77cbf6d_z.jpg) Going on forty years later an actual road cuts along that route we took now, prob'ly not for the better  Are you on the left?

Paul, he could have joined the Marines. Not that the Piece Corps was a mistake for him.

As to the Piece Corps itself Birdie, do you think it was, and is worth the time, and money spent? A childhood friend of mine joined the Bloods in Detroit when we were about 16, he dealt drugs and a host of other schit when they wanted him to start murdering he couldn't do it and the only way out of the Bloods gang is in a casket. My buddy got smart and joined the Peace Corps to get out of the country and escape the mayhem of the Bloods. I haven't seen him since. The last time I saw him we were 18 and he was 6' 11" and built like a tree trunk. He made some bad choices with the lure of easy money, hopefully they didn't get him. I miss that guy he was awesome. 6'11" is not a good height for doing crimes. Kinda stand out from the crowd and it would make it hard for the Po-po to come up with a lineup. I hope you friend stayed out of "the thug life".

The guys on the ends look okay, but the guy in the middle needs a hamburger.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

I've heard rumors some of the gangs have tentacles in the Military. Can't say for sure it's true, but I'd find it easier to believe than them having reach into the Peace Corps. Still, at that height and build, you friend is going to stick out about anywhere!

Cool. Love old pics. Life is always evolving. Odd sometimes, to look at old pics. Always fascinating.

Ghana is/was a cool place from the late 1950's onward. City or bush, all good. I lived there in the early 1960's and can attest to what BW recounts, and more.

Great thread. I'm ready for more, BW.

Fella on the left won the daily lotto and got the "girlfriend" for the night, eh?
![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50062636137_dc94e74646_b.jpg) Not exactly, for them this was a special occasion, two Obrunis (White guys) walking in out of the bush, unheard of. So they right away rolled out the red carpet, slaughtered their biggest chicken for us right off. What you're seeing there is them dressed to the nines with what they had with 'em. That was their prize ram, I'm thinking the next guy had that outfit tailored to be buried in, he was pretty far gone from TB, God rest his soul. The guy with the ritual scarring and the shotgun was the real deal, no one I'd wanna get PO'd at me.

Sir, you must be referring to this photo, that is me on the left with my many wives and children. The one in the middle looks like the mailman tho. I was much darker back then. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50063111616_a6e6cdeb85_b.jpg)
