More Random Moto Loads

Today was the most "Normal" day we have had in a while. We went to the office and worked for the day. We took a trip to the Service Center for a weekly devotional, then returned to office for the rest of the day without taking any little side trips. We managed to make a FaceTime call to tell our granddaughter, Ariana, Happy Birthday! We had reports to work up for our team and loose ends to wrap up before next week's visit from Sisters Esplin and Marriott.

We received some very sad news today as well. A young man from our old ward in Magna lost his battle to a rare blood disease. Charlie Shaw was in his early twenties and has been our friend for a lot of years. Charlie was born in Hawaii, and removed from an abusive home when he was very young. Ken and Karen adopted him when he was only about four. He was pretty laid back, but always gentle and kind. Our prayers today are for the comfort of the Shaw family. We will miss Charlie!

We decided for our picture today to show some more random moto-loads. Fresh coconuts are a popular street vendor item, sold as a refreshing drink. This was a pretty large load complete with  a passenger on top.  The second moto was having a hard time traveling straight and steady. It appeared his "saddle bags" were not evenly balance for his load. Then there was the huge load of bananas. We wonder how long it takes to grow a crop. One of the most random moto pictures we caught this week was the load with the driver wedged tight to the handle bars, and the passenger facing backwards against the loaded oversized basket. If you look carefully you can see the passenger's legs in the rear facing position. There must be a whole lot of garlic used in cooking around here as it is a common load of cargo we see going to market. You might notice there is another passenger here as well. And finally, we are not sure why these seats are being hauled down the road on the moot-trailer. Maybe because so many passengers just ride on the cargo load. We are just surprised there were no passengers on the more comfortable seats load. Welcome to Cambodia!
