Pata Pata Saved My Day

I work in Boston. I drive in Boston. There is not a worse town in the US for driving to fuel your road rage than Boston. This morning, I was driving, took a turn, forgetting the tea sitting next to me. It spilled all over my pants creating, what I briefly envisioned, an awkward situation when I arrived at work.

Viva Africa!
