Those White Lines

There was a time when pedestrians felt safe using crosswalks. When these lines were "installed" on the roads, pedestrians were delighted to see them.

However, today, this sense of safety has been tampered with, and these lines have become a cause for anxiety.   The culprits behind the change may be careless drivers. Although these potions of the roads are to keep walkers safe, negligent drivers are hitting pedestrians while they are in the act of using them.


Some people may be tempted to jaywalk.  However, before doing that, keep in mind that it would be even more dangerous in non-designated areas since there is danger in the safety zone.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
