Phil has done a wonderful job of giving us a view of his life our California seasons and a healthy out look to us grey beards. Such an enjoyable read and a must for all kneeboard fans. Thanks Phil

Sounds like another great event. I miss all the fun of these contests. Although I couldn,t make it I joined in here online guys. EQ you were so close! Auurgh!

I don,t if you,ve heard but you will soon. My brother in law Sean Collins has passed on. He had a fatal heart attack while playing tennis yesterday. I hope their is a prayer in your life for his family. He will be sorely missed here.

That's awesome news. Hey Steen looks like your the unofficial honorary God Father. Man Nora and I have been on the edge waiting three weeks for this moment. I know Jodie has the fortitude and patience for boys so Steen is in good hands. So what comes first Barry fins or laureate?

final one and my favorite: Rocking Under the Mutaba Tree Bemba proverb: umunwe umo tausala nda* As I walked onto the grounds, I noticed that the young man in front of me carried a pint-sized version of a car battery, and I wondered. Very few people were around for the service…..I figured that (a) th...

2 more The Borehole Bemba proverb: Ameenshi, emweo* The first few times I tried this, I overloaded the bike…..thought it might break. With two five-gallon jerrycans filled with water and strapped to either side of the rear tire like saddlebags, the tire flattened nearly to its rim and the rack acros...

again; Samfya Road I rode alongside the Zambian equivalent of Lance Armstrong the other day. There I was, going along at some speed with my spiffy multi-geared, shock-absorbed mountain bike, when I came up behind a young guy pedaling along on his single-speed with a huge bag of cornmeal and a young ...

there is more: Insoka (Can They Climb Walls?) Bemba proverbs: Ilyashi iya nsaka, musenda cipuba* Munshebwa, aile nama shinshi kubuko** “He was just coming to greet you” This said by Ba Mumba, with a huge smile and a laugh, to explain why I had come face to face with a 4-5 foot long spitting cobra in...

These are fantastic stories and even though they,re not about knee boarding it is a fascinating read. Imbabula Challenged Bemba proverb: Mukutu ali eka, taikulula* …..never thought I’d be scoping out the backs of pit toilets for broken off pieces of “bad air” exit pipe. They’re perfect, though, if y...

I hear you Bob this has been on my mind all day. Our lives get shorter as our loves grows stronger, go figure.

Tom you,ll be in Nora and my prayers for the rest of this summer. Hoping for a speedy and healthy recovery.

He gave me three letters but one didn,t make it through to me. If Bob or Barry got it could they post it.

Another addition to Phils encounters                                                    Off the Grid       I’ve got this thing…..paid 20 bucks for it on eshopper.com (or whatever).  It’s a box with a solar panel on top and will charge AA, AAA, C, D, and other batteries just by setting it out in the ...

And a further accounts Bashikulu Man, it's a maze in here. Let's see now. After leaving the boma, I turn left onto the wide trail just past the last structure, follow it through the small plots of head-high corn, sweet potatoes and plowed ground until I see the mango trees just ahead. Then I pedal l...
