We've got the new FSD/SIMAS basketball court set up. I'm quite the sharpshooter from 15 feet or so. It's been nice, gets you out from in front of the computer between 530pm or so and 730, 745ish. Shoot some hoops, shower, take dinner and you're most of the way through the evening.
We've had a lot of extra people around this week to help with the Christening of the court. It's been fun to watch the locals give it a go. Not a particularly atheletic bunch these deminers, but they make up for that in spirit. I don't know very many of the deminers all that well, but those that I do know better are particularly interesting to watch play, because you can see their character traits come out. The guy who is the most analytical in the bunch really 'measures' each shot for example.
I heard there was a Manute Bol sighting up in Wau recently. Maybe he'll come spend an afternoon with the likes of us, instructing on the finer points of offensive rebounding.
Very creative placement of the hoop.
