Playing with Guns

Another thing about Africa...guns become normal. An everyday fact of life.
No big deal. Another AK. ...not talking about a two week safari, but a long
drive. This was about 2 and a half months into the trip, just drove the entire
length of Sudan.

Ray, she doesn't even notice it. She's talking to someone else and just knows
something is in her field of vision. Harvey, he's just wondering why everyone
is taking pictures. The green glittery stuff up top, it's just after Christmas.
The striped sock, someone sitting on thte roof seats. The guy with the gun,
he's about to shoot someone through the window...

Imagine this scene at home. Everyone would be screaming. Police would be called.
People would be running. Mass chaos.
Well, this was just a normal everyday shot here. Gotta love it.
Another world.
