Security Antennas

A lot of organizations and some people around here drive with these
huge black antennas sticking off the front of their cars. HEAL doesn't
have any, but a lot of the other organizations do. I thought it was
some sort of radio thing, but what it actually is is a security
antenna. I'm not sure how it works, but if something happens to the car
there is a company that will be alerted and they will know where you are
by GPS and stuff like that. It is kind of like Onstar or something like
that in the states, or an alarm system for houses where they call you
and see what's up. There's probably a button too that you can press and
send some sort of an SOS signal. I just thought that was kind of
interesting.

Sorry if some of the posts recently have been hard to read. I can
send in posts via e-mail which is a lot faster than logging into the
blogger website (sometimes it doesn't load at all) and it hasn't been
picking up my paragraph breaks so I'm trying to indent now. If you
don't see any indentations, that hasn't worked either.

I put up some more pictures under the second album, including a
couple of the very security antennas I was just talking about, and other
pictures that Don took when he was here just driving around Goma.

Now it's back to work. I'm designing an experiment to be done at
Mawe Hai to try different ways of composting things to see which way is
the best and also show the workers that a good compost pile is better
than just leaving the stuff out in huge piles to dry out and maybe
decompose in a couple years. I sure hope it works.
