I'll take a smile any day over some of the other things that have happened to me here..

I keep having the workers at the compound ask for my number, because I am nice and talk to them(one of them grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go)...twice have had 2 locals follow me across town to my house...and last week had a guy on Salwa road pull up next to me and ask me to coffee (I had a phone call and had to stop to answer it)...it can get a bit scary at times...

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
