The things I do for you

Hot on the trail of pictures of monkeys riding weiner dogs.

And yes, Mark, I have lost a bit of hope...in humanity. How dare you, sir. How dare you.

Am here in sunny Karachi, and am taking a moment to catch back up on Life on the Mekong, and so I must say: hey, best of luck in Ukraine! It’s a nice place – they’ve got a cultural fixation with wheat beer that I ADORE – but good luck on dealing with the weather moving from 17 thousand degrees to minus twenty six. I’ll see what I can do about dropping in to visit in Kiev – who doesn’t love Kiev, after all?

Enjoy your day!
Monkey on dog photo coming once I get back to Islamabad (have you lost hope yet?).

Dude:

Where’s my monkey on a weiner dog picture?

That picture is the only thing standing between me and a total loss of credibility.

Literally almost 6 people are waiting anxiously for photographic proof of the wonderous event that you captured.
