Another round of videos. Thanx again to my step-mom for uploading them. These are short clips of some of my encounters with the kids here.


Kids Pointing At Car from Sour Swinger on Vimeo.

These adorable kids kept pointing and saying a word I didn’t know. I later learned they wanted to take a picture in front of their family’s car.



Kids Horse Play from Sour Swinger on Vimeo.

These kids started horse playing with each other. Unfortunately, by the time I got my camera out they had stopped. This neighborhood is in fact very well off and the richest area I’ve seen to date.



Plummer Lines Up Kids from Sour Swinger on Vimeo.

SFC Plummer lines up the kids in order to hand out candy. Short vid but good example showing how the kids swarm around a soldier. This town’s kid’s have been known to get very aggressive in taking candy. That noise is the Stryker. I shot the vid from on top of it.



Donkey N Buggy In TCP from Sour Swinger on Vimeo.

We set up a TCP (Traffic Control Point) in a quiet part of the country. The only traffic we ever saw were these kids riding past.

    Awww- they are so cute. Also– I was quite surprised– you can hear so many birds tweeting in that second video.

    Birds are very common over here though they all mostly look like Finches. Its the reptiles and arachnids I see very little of.
