Oh boy , you guys just too much 0*\ Can't even turn your back for a few moments :O^

But OK , don't worry , I will get my own too :-)

In the mean time , my old laptop has slowly been giving up the ghost , and I have to nurse it along while a new computer is being prepared for me . But , I am situated on the farm outside Worcester , while my company offices are in Cape Town , and having been put out to retirement ( like an old elephant bull 0' ) , I do not get to visit the offices very often :O^
And , its quite frustrating not getting what you want , just because everyone around you think you are too old ......... 0=

OK , let's get back to serious business again \O

In November 1997 , SO and I took a short trip to Kruger , flying to Nelspruit , hired car , etc .
These trips were almost spur-of-the-moment , and at short notice --- call Sanparks to see accommodation availability where-ever , take it , and go .


I used an old Pentax K1000 camera ,and I found amongst my pics that we were lucky enough to see quite a few lions , Sable antelope , a cheetah , a leopard , wild dogs that pooped out of the bush right in front of us into the road , and also this interesting female ellie . She had good sized tusks , and being mature , but still fairly youthful , showed promise that her tusks could grow quite a bit more during the next 10 - 15 years .
She was seen near Satara , and I by the shape of her tusks she could very well be MaTrix -- what do you think ?
