101 Ways to Use a Jerrican

The Minnesota Twins had an amazing end to the regular season and are two games into the postseason, so I've been thinking about not much else besides baseball lately. (Pastor Al can tell who won all the last World Series in, oh, the last 20 years or so. But he and his family are big-time Yankees fans. It's funny to be in Karamoja and see Yankees t-shirts and hats.) Anyway, that's my excuse for not blogging and hopefully will continue to be so past Friday...

But about the jerricans (or jerry cans?) - these plastic containers hold everything from oil to water to sorghum. They also double nicely as drums - or speakers, as in this restaurant in Nakapiripirit. The sound quality wasn't so great, but you could tell it was music anyway. :) The same restaurant had a jerrican with a faucet-type spout so diners could wash their hands. Very nice.
