This morning my cab arrived at a scene of you guessed it, an accident. I am glad this time around I am just a witness and not a victim. This motorbike zoomed out of a conner and got hit by of all things a Mercedeze Benz. Its a good thing traffic in Hanoi moves no faster than 20 km/h during rush hour, or me thinks the guy would have met a different end. Look both ways before crossing a street boys and girls. Anyhoo, I never miss an opportunity to take a picture of a crime scene

Last night watched a great documentary about Mohamad Ali. This mans story, does inspire. This man won the Heavy weight world champion of the world at 28, Was drafted and ignored the draft, Was found guilty of a federal crime (draft dodging), Spent 3 years fighting that conviction, got his sentence overruled, regained the Heavy Weight Champion of the world title at 32 after not being able to fight for 3 years. His struggle against black oppression and social reforms truly made an impact to the Black history of America. I never knew Ali had did so much for the black cause until last night. I always though he was just another boxer. Well you learn something new everyday.
