You know one of the things that really bug me about South Africa? Seat belts are treated as no big deal. Kids are always bouncing around in the back seat or climbing all over. Like this morning. We saw a guy driving down the road and his son, maybe about three or four years old, was standing up in the back and leaning his head up over the driver’s seat. I know that sometimes it’s an issue in America too, but not like it is here. In fact here, I think it’s actually uncommon to see a child buckled up in the back seat. Let alone in a car seat. I'm not too sure what the rate of deaths from car crashes is here, but I'm sure it would probably be lower if people would just buckle their children up. It's one thing for an adult to not wear their seat belt, but at least they should know better. Endangering the life of a child who doesn't know the difference is plain wrong. To all my friends in South Africa: Please make sure your kids buckle up!

Anyway, now that my little rant is done, back to work!
