What's Woody Doing Now

Catching Rainwater

This morning while it was raining, I decided to see how my neighbors were catching rainwater. It was not a question, if they were catching rainwater but how were they catching rainwater.

The End of Rainy Season

Seasons in Congo are defined as either the rainy season or the dry season. In fact, there are four seasons, but two rainy seasons and two dry seasons. I was told on Saturday, April 23, by a Congolese that the current rainy season will end in 20 days. I'm going to have to get the dates and program then into my calendar. 

The significance of the end of the rainy season means that our frequent rains will stop. And they say the demand for water will skyrocket. Therefore, our automated water dispensing system by Lorentz SmartTaps will be put to the test. 

It rained Saturday night. It drizzled Sunday morning. It rained Monday evening. Then it drizzled this morning and just rained this evening. For example, a steady crowd on Monday but no one at the taps today. I suspect no one will want will want to buy water tomorrow.

So the countdown is on!

Liberated from Kinshasa!

You all have a blessed week. I'm flying to the interior of Congo. And my work begins tomorrow repairing components of a water system in Kananga.

Spring break flights canceled as Spirit, JetBlue cancellations persist

I am dealing with a similar situation in Kinshasa, the capital city of Congo. I arrived on Wednesday. My work site is 400+ miles away. I was hoping for a Friday flight to Kananga but was told Saturday when I purchased my ticket. Almost immediately, the flight was cancelled to Sunday. And Saturday evening, it was cancelled to Monday. No word Sunday, so I'm going to the airport Monday morning without any certainty of the flight.

Where Has Woody Been?

Just where have I been since late May. The short answer is, I have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I was working on water projects.

Seth's Blog : Tools for modern citizens

Do you know Statistics, Germ Theory, Epidemiology, Decision Making, Propaganda and the Status Quo, Semiotics and Indoctrination, the Mechanics of Global Weather, Network Effects, and Artificial Intelligence? 

There's a few of those subjects I know a little about. It's time to hit the books again!

Tools for modern citizens

It has taken us by surprise, but in our current situation, when everyone has more of a voice and more impact on the public than ever before, it suddenly matters. You wouldn’t take your car to a mechanic who didn’t know how to fix a car, and citizens, each of us, should be held to at least as high a standard of knowledge.
Everyone around us needs to know about:
Statistics
Germ theory
Epidemiology
Decision making
Propaganda and the status quo
Semiotics and indoctrination
The mechanics of global weather
Network effects
and artificial intelligence
Either we are the makers of our future or we’re the victims. And if we don’t understand these fundamental components of how the world works, our actions may undermine our goals as well as the people around us.
The world is changing fast and we’re all more connected than ever before. The good news is that these are all skills, they can be learned and it’s imperative that we teach them to others.

Congolese Students Taking Their Final Exams

In August 2021, I visited a classroom where Congolese students were talking their final examination for the year. I was shocked!

Fractions

One time that amazes me constantly on Facebook is that most people DON'T understand basic math like addition, substraction, multiplication, and division. Therefore, they really don't understand factions.

 I'm hooked on Fractions on Castbox. Check out this episode! https://castbox.fm/vb/385691983?_t=00%3A00

DRC top doc: 'The third wave is behind us', 'Must remain vigilant' - Outbreak News Today

I hope the COVID-19 pandemic stays under control in Congo. The "correct wearing of the masks" is required.

“The third wave is behind us. But we must always be vigilant because we do not want there to be a 4th wave. This is really why the correct wearing of the masks is obligatory and also soon it is the vaccination. We will therefore resume vaccination and I ask you to make efforts so that the hesitations and resistance to vaccination can cease, “ he said.
