Harmattan Redux!
This morning, it was unusually cold. Little did Ghanaians know that they were going to wake up to another "round" of the Harmattan--those dusty winds that blow through Western Africa. My sources tell me Cote d'Ivoire, Mali and Burkina were also plagued by this kind of weather this morning.
Between you and me, bar the dust, I quite like the coolness!

Just in case Ghanaian Politicians forget in Election Year 2012...
![[image]](http://mowser.com/web/http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-hbNLmDmsfsI%2FTxbpY7NYe2I%2FAAAAAAAAAnE%2FujJD61j6AA8%2Fs1600%2FEkbjr-nokiae63%252528707%252529.jpg)
This is a common refrain heard by Ghanaians of all walks of life. It is especially heard in years when elections take place, such is this Olympic year of 2012.
When politicians go campaigning, vox pop by media houses are likely to include a piece of an agitated voter stating categorically that "these politicans think they can come after three years of doing nothing and present only a road they did for us in this community. Do they not know we don't eat roads?"
If roads were designed for eating, I daresay there would not be enough for anyone in
this country!

Time for some Law and Order--Ghana-Style!

Even if we are some seventeen days into the New Year, I believe nothing stops me from wishing you all a FABULOUS New Year--replete with good luck and good cheer?

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
This blog--whether it is Trials & Tribulations of a Freshly-Arrived Denizen...of Ghana; Accra Pictures by Day & Night; or Critiquing Regionalism; et al--are very much alive. The silence is attributed to the usual end-of-year pandemonium and cacophony.
No doubt, they shall all be back in full swing in 2012!
Suffice-to-say, as the sun sets on 2011, I sincerely hope however and whichever way you arrived at this blog entry, you'll be touched by the spirit of Christmas and goodness in the air and make sure you and your family HAVE YOURSELVES a great and scintillating Christmas break.
May it sound, peaceful and stress-free!
Have a supremely enjoyable and wonderful Christmas -- till we meet again in January 2012!;-D

Soul Food: Strange Cloud in the Ghanaian Sky
![[image]](http://mowser.com/web/http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-kWXrU_sUTRI%2FTs0WEME6EDI%2FAAAAAAAAAlM%2FzfpAwkkZzME%2Fs1600%2FEkbjr-nokiae63%252528709%252529.jpg)
Indeed, quite beautiful, but strange...
A beautiful cloud no less?
Incidentally, I cannot promise to be "back" as such...as real life is happening very much with regard to finishing the year in a bang. So, bear with me. This blog has not been abandoned at all.
Thanks for your interest and understanding!

Though it's been Sunny, More Rain Predicted in Accra

I understand this is not anything new in Accra as in May, another area -- Darkuman -- was going to receive 2 million ghana cedis for the construction of such storm drains. Here's the story:

Make your weekend safe -- wherever you may be!
PS. Take a look at the different kind of storm drains that exist on the web: http://www.google.com.gh/search?q=define+%22storm+drain%22&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1366&bih=529&sei=%20t9KqTr32AsKZOsLk9eIP
