Alternative Energies

We stop at a roadside store and two little boys approach the van with what looks like a liter of apple juice and some sort of funnel toy. As they begin to use the funnel to pour apple juice into the side of the van I thought to myself, “Dear God, the Marshallese have discovered it! Apple Juice as an alternative fuel!" Turns out it's just regular gasoline :(

During the stop two women get in the van with a baby. One sits in the front seat and grips the baby by the arm and passes him over the seat to the 2nd woman. As woman #2 lifts her shirt I realize that it must be time for the little boy to gas up too! Wow, I haven't seen anyone breast feed despite the countless babies. Funny that they do it so openly considering how conservative the country is with other things. I guess a breast is not a knee.
