I do recognize a silouette of a cobra when I see one!!! That's actually what I thought was so truly fabulous about the sign. Gives you a bit more of a jolt than "beware of the dog...."

When Barb sent me an email a few days ago letting me know that she had my kilt with her in South Africa to work on while she was there I asked if she had any pictures. I thought that the scenery might contrast nicely with the pictures of Iceland. The kilt is being made from a piece of BlackWatch regimental weight tartan which I purchased off of Ebay last winter. I know a few other members here also purchased some of this discontinued cloth.
Barb, thanks for posting the photos, and please do keep your distance from the cobras. I don't know what we'd do if we lost you to those pesky snakes. Can't wait to get to wear my new kilt!

Both for the kilt, and for getting to see it's fabrication in awesome travelog form.
BTW: Barb, for Standard's, and everyone's sake, please do steer clear of the poisonous snakes

Hey Barb!
If you run into a prof from Rhodes University by the name of Steve Prevec, say hi for me.

Hi, Dixie – If Prof Prevec is up at the Cradle, I’m sure Barb will look out for him. But his place of work is just up the road from where I am, which is pretty far away.
Regards,
