TIA

I'm sitting at work, reviewing some articles for the journal. It's a pretty quiet day here, but Main Road is filled with its typical traffic. (This is the main thoroughfare to get from the southern suburbs to downtown and has 4 lanes of traffic, usually occupied by large buses, kombis, and crazy speeding drivers.) In a moment of daydreaming, I realize that a little white object appears to be scampering along the grass next to the hospital. It then jumps up on the bay of public telephones, pauses to look at some people waiting for the bus, then climbs up a tree and appears to vanish.

Yep, it's a monkey. TIA = this is Africa.
