MY FIRST PH WAS AN AFRIKANER ON MY FIRST SAFARI IN 1988. THE OUTFITTER TOLD THE STORY ON HIM THAT ON A HUNT THERE WAS VIDEOGRAPHER ALONG TO FILM THE SAFARI. THE VIDEO GUY WAS HIPPIE LOOKING, WITH LONG HAIR. THE PH AND VIDEO GUY GOT TO SHARE A ROOM. THE VIDEO GUY TOOK OUT A SMALL BOTTLE OF CLEAR JELLY/GREASE (APPRARENTLY SOETHING USED ON LENSES) AND PUT IT ON THE NIGHT STAND BETWEEN THEM. THE PH, NOT TRUSTING THE HIPPIE, AND THINKING THE WORST, THOUGHT IT WAS FOR SEXUAL ACTIVITY, DIDN'T SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND KEPT A GUN HANDY.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
