pop quiz
an update of our week to come soon - complete with photos for your viewing pleasure. in the meantime a quiz... a situational quiz with a bonus math problem...
1. when you are in a different country and have verbal directions, two road maps, two atlases, and none correspond to what you see - what do you do?
2. if after 7 hrs in the car you finally reach your destination and there is a locked ranch gate and a dead end - what do you do? vary in the fact that there is nothing but dirt road for miles - free roaming cows, horses, and mangy dogs AND heading back means windy mountain roads where the local TRUCKs drive without headlights to "see the oncoming traffic".
3. you wake in a to the sound of cows feet away and the sound of bees swarming in the tree above your tent. do you venture out?
4. after deeming it safe to step outside you are loudly greeted by an old man on horse back, leading two mules loaded down with what looks to be large bags of coffee. he is yelling at you to visit the "agua caliente" and waving bizarre hand directions. do you smile stupidly and stare? try to motion to him that you'd like to take his picture? or take off after the coffee beans like a wild eyed american just wanting to suck on one - knowing that you are about 100 miles away from a hot cup?
5. back home - you see billowing black smoke less than a mile from your home. you live outside the firedept. district (which means every home for itself). it has been a DRY winter. the prevailing winds are headed your direction. what do you do?
6. upon recommendation you evacuate your home - thinking you can return anytime to get stuff - considering the fire is contained - only to find out you may not return. how do you cope with a sick baby and a restless child?
7. after 40 hours out of your home, eating diner food for two days, wearing dirty clothes, and covered in baby snot, do you a) go through the proper channels to prove you live in the area of the accident and request permission to return? or b) run the barricades?
8. worth many points: using the method known as "flaring" how many hours does it take to burn off 9,300 gallons of propane?
