RE: Two rescue horses and some Nguni cattle!

Good afternoon Hannes.

Busy with the doctors the whole morning and didn't have the chance to reply sooner.

Now that's one thing that we hate to see. Roadkill. Thankfully you avoided any harm to the squirrel and I know your heart. Some people here deliberately drive over them, and it just shows you how different we all are 😥

Some very sad cases here and you will not believe what people can do to their animals. Luckily we have law enforcement agencies that send their inspectors around in response to complaints and the perpetrators land up in court facing heavy fines if they are found guilty. The animals are then removed and placed at places that care, such as the lovely two horses in this post.
So glad to support them 😊 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

never mind, but I hope to hear good news from you soon, my friend 😊

Well, my camera was on the passengers seat before I slammed the brakes. After I stopped and the squirrel was safe, I found it on the floor ... fortunately, it still works fine 😀 !LOLZ
I bet if someone had been behind me he would have rear ended my car, but when I can avoid to kill an innocent life, I will certainly do it.

I don't think that fines will stop such behaviour. They should be locked up just as if they had hurt humans.

Good afternoon Hannes,

Nothing yet my friend and thank you for the care.

Thank goodness that they make cameras a bit tougher these days, as I have also dropped my camera a few times now. At least you dropped yours for a good cause and that squirrel is happy and alive 😊 !LOLZ
The person behind you would be guilty of not following you at a prescribed distance and he will be in more trouble for rear ending a senior police officer that had to stop for an emergency. Then the investigating officer will find fault with his brakes and the fact that he didn't concentrate on the road.
So the judge will ban him from driving for 6 years, he would have to repair your car and he will get a huge fine. I think that's how it works in the mountain goat's country 🤣🤣🤣

They are desperate people because they have no work, but the state should follow the money and arrest those that pay them.

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

sorry for my late reply, but after my nightshift I have been a little bite more tired than usual and so I didn't turn the computer on 😴

I hate waiting as you know and waiting for good news is even worse. I really hope that you will tell me great news soon 🙏

A few months ago, when I was in a little gorge Slovenia, I forgot to hold the camera when I loosened the screw of the camera mounting plate on the tripod. The camera fell on the rocky ground and luckily a rock stopped it before it could fall about 10 meters down into the river. There's a little scratch on the camera body but it still works completely fine and the 100-400mm camera lens is also ok as if nothing happened.
So, my reply is: yes, they make very tough cameras these days 😀 and yes, I would at least have saved a life, even if the camera had been dead 😁 !LOLZ

Here, if you rear end a car it's almost always your fault. So this wouldn't have been a problem.

True, the real criminals are behind those people and they should be locked up forever.

Good afternoon Hannes,

Not to worry, as I know about your situation with the shifts.

The doctor is now trying to get me into a government hospital in the big city in order for them to do the scan. But I heard some bad news yesterday from a friend who had the scan. Apparently they inject one with a radio active ink and then a machine scans the body to search for red cell blockages and leakages.
The leakages show up in yellow colors on the scan.
He warned me that the ink creates kidney troubles afterwards and that's all that I need now 😮

Ach no, I am not so clumsy, as I treat my camera with great care. I only hook the strap with my foot when I type and the camera falls off the desk onto the soft floor 🤣
You were lucky that the camera didn't fall into the river 10 meters down, as then you would have had a difficult climb down to go and search for it. I can see you in my mind's eye forlornly searching in the cold water for the camera. Lucky also that nothing serious broke on the camera.
Mountain goat luck is what I call it 😜 !LOLZ

The same here, but people like to take chances and it's dangerous on our roads.

Totally agreed with you!

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

thanks, I knew you understand me and my sleepiness 😴

Hm, I think I can't say much more than that I hope you make your decision wisely. Maybe you should do a research for this scan and the radio active ink yourself because what happened to your friend might not happen to you too.

Yep, I was lucky, because there wouldn't have been a way down to the river and the camera would have been gone with all photos I had made that day. I saw it falling but I couldn't move and I have no idea why I didn't hold it while I loosened the screw because I always take care ... well, most times to be honest 😂 !LOLZ

I don't have a camera strap, so that wouldn't be a problem. You're lucky too that the floor below your desk is soft - a thick carpet, I suppose 😀

People here don't keep enough distance too, so such accidents happen quite often too.

Good afternoon Hannes,

Hahaha, just a bit of a tease.

We are indeed researching the scan, as I am tired of the hold ups my friend. I have to struggle to concentrate, and my memory is now worse than it ever was before.

You really sound just like me here. If that camera was gone you would be heartsore for a few days and then you will get another one and you will treat it like a baby. Until it gets old, then it will be the rough and tumble again. I think that cameras warn us to take care of them, by having near accidents 🤣 !LOLZ

Ha, my floor is hard, as it is a concrete floor covered with thin panels of artificial wooden flooring 😉

Oh yes, I hate it when I see a car in my rear view driving very close to me. Stupid methinks.

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

it's time that the doctors get something done - you're too patient, my friend, but I guess also these things work different in South Africa 😥

Oh yes, while I was walking down to get the camera I already thought of which new camera I would buy ... and where I could take the money from 🤣 !LOLZ
My camera has a few scratches and I think that makes it look even better - they show that the camera is used and not just to show that I have an expensive camera 😉

I have to admit that when someone drives toooo slow In the left lane (fast lane) of the Autobahn I drive quite close to that car too until he realizes how stupid he is 😅
