God knows better


We got drinking water and cooking gas at home last night and have found someone to cut down the coconuts in our yard so that they do not fall and hit us on the head and kill us.  Simon and I are afraid of yard work because of the potential for snakes.  The Kashmiris think it is unlikely that there would be snakes in our yard despite the fact that one has been seen recently "walking" on the road.  They cannot give a reason why they think our fears are unfounded.  When pressed they can only explain that "God knows better".

The photo is of the offending tree, but it is difficult to see the killer coconuts in this light.  You really will have to take my word for it.
