Day Twenty

Yesterday we had Breakfast, and Ray taught class. While Ray taught I wrote posts and visited the bush canteen. Talking with the cooks was very enjoyable. After a while daddy came and found me to help him. I had to help him test an Ethernet cable because we couldn't get it to work. We tested it and it worked. So we thought about what could be wrong. It turns out that we had put the wires in the wrong order. We had lunch and then worked on the computers. While we were working on computers Ray said that I was like a minion. He said that because I had enough servitude with just a little bit of annoyance that I'm not a brainless robot. Now it has stuck as my nickname for this trip. We spent a considerable time looking up minion to see if it did fit and to see if it exclusively had to do with villainous people. It doesn't which daddy was surprised to find out.

HCC is still being built so the walk way doesn't have rains yet. The walk ways are wide enough for two people to walk abreast. When we first got here Ray threatened to push me off since I was walking on the outside. Some time last week I was walking again by Ray but this time I was on the inside so I pushed him. I didn't actually expect him to fall off but just in case I pushed him off where there were stairs down so there wouldn't just be a huge drop. He stumbled a little when I pushed him and stepped down a step. Since then he keeps threatening to push me off but hasn't pushed me yet. He says it's more fun to threaten me then to get revenge now and not have any leverage. Still I always walk on the inside or behind Ray. Going around corners is almost comical, we race around the bend to see who can get to the inside first. It's about 50-50. We're getting down to the last few days so I'm even more cautious. Yesterday on the way to dinner I confidently walked on the outside and Ray threatened to push me but I had my response. "You wouldn't push your minion would you?" That made him laugh and he didn't push me. After supper we played spades and then went to bed.
