To follow up on Tamara<\/a>‘s Curator Needed, Part III…<\/a><\/p>\n

Aside: I still have to tell all of y’all (both of you) about the teardrop trailer<\/a> I built and then dragged up to Etosha<\/a> for the school holidays. But that’s not important right now.<\/p>\n

Just north of Windhoek there’s a little town (most towns in Namibia are little, and there are not so many towns either) called Okahandja, and there we passed a military museum. I was kind of sad that we didn’t have time to visit.<\/p>\n

Some gems include:<\/p>\n

“DFSH 41: The gun is made out of brown wood and black metal. It has openings at the end of it, where bullots will come out when it is used.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“60MM Mortal: Its made out of metal, plastic and leather and its green in colour. It has a metal object fixed on it, where it can stand.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
