Seasons are Confused

Yeah. The Earth's finally lost it, after all these decades of trying.

It can't decide if it wants it to be Rainy season or Dry season. Every few days it'll rain. But then, between those times, it's super dry and hot. So what is it? When it rains, it rains like a hurricane. A roof that we had built which was pinned down by NAILS splintered off of the wooden columns and flew into the yard like nothing! That's how strong these rains can get. Almost immediately I thought that it was Rainy Season after this. My Dad said no, though; "There's always a mid-Dry Season rain." But then, only two days ago, it was raining again!!! It doesn't make any sense. I don't know what to think. Maybe it's global warming? True. But perhaps it's just that Rainy Season's come early. But wouldn't that be global warming as well? I say that the seasons are getting all messed up. Because I know it's not just here that it's like this. In America, the winter wasn't so cold. If it's like this now, what'll happen a few years from now? What sort of conditions, what sort of world would we be residing in? Those are the questions that I'm beginning to ask. That, and how Terraria is so addicting. :P

Lagos in a Day Again

Yeah it's sooo late right now,

But we came back from going to Lagos at six in the afternoon. We left at six in the morning. We did it take so long? Why were we even going in the FIRST DARN PLACE? Well...we need car parts. One thing about Nigeria is that it isn't a very modern-car friendly type of place. So even though all these rich people are buying Lambourghinis and McLarens and Porsches, the problem is is that nobody knows how to fix those type of cars here. Why you would bring one of them over in the first place boggles me; you should see the conditions of the roads. A sports car's worst nightmare. So we had a Porsche come over to get fixed so we had to go all the way to Lagos and back in one DAY. And even with all of that work, guess what? The parts that we got were the wrong ones!!! See, that's the other problem; nothing is standardized here so you never know what you're gonna get. It's a pretty big problem. So we're always dealing with "OH-NO THIS IS THE WRONG FRIGGIN' PART WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GONNA DO" type of situations. Seriously, it's not the funny. At all. We lose money and we really are powerless to stop losing money. :( Well, no use in complaining, right? Even with all of that I still had a fun time in Lagos. We went and ate at an Indian restaurant! Might not sound like much but that's probably the only Indian restaurant in the whole country. :D So, longer post tomorrow,
