BambaLaye, you know, I didn't think of the Ramadan-end factor! Spot on, 
there has to be some miracle! And yes, I am used to it now. It sounds like 
your clown of distant memory is not so distant now after all. May His 
Lordship will take a fancy to horse-riding in addition to gown-dragging and 
sword-and-beads-wielding to complete the miracle adornments! Why do I 
remember Don Quixote de la Mancha at this auspicious moment? We have no 
knights or windmills in The Gambia right now. Or do we?

Baba
