Several posts back, I wrote about a path/road in my neighborhood that was recently blocked by some idiot. At first the first just put barbed wire across the road. Then when he realized people were just going to crawl through it, he added tree branches.
when that still didn't work, he dug a hole in the middle and planted beans around it. Seriously, why would someone go through that much trouble just to block the road.
The village chief had to be called in to settle the rising disputes. Apparently, I was not the only one annoyed at having to walk the long way around to get to a taxi. So, the result is now a brick wall going up. No one can crawl through it. However, it does look like there is a small space for people to squeeze through if they want to pass that way. That is what the person on the other end of the road did, left a tiny space. Some people use it. But, mostly us women don't. Why take the chance on coming upon some thief of rapist just to take a shorter route to the taxi. So, now that the way is completely blocked, I will continue enjoying the longer and more scenic route to the taxi. Scenic being all the cows that the herdsmen like to graze in the field along the route and then there is always the village mosque and all the children to shout bye to!
