mary got out of jail. if someone is arrested for fighting they just make them sit down at the police station until someone shows up to bribe the police then you're out. mary says she was just throwing a stone. we got up and went to the market. there was a go-slow stretching about two miles on the other side of the road on the way out there. this market had mostly wooden carvings and vegetables, and there were proper stalls. some guys hissed for me to come with a furtive look and showed me their finest erotic wooden sculptures and made sure i didn't need any weed. two boys named frank and steven saw me in the car as we drove up and when i got out they introduced themselves and said they were there as my guides for the market. steven says he likes science and studies at school during the week. we played a game with a bouncing ball and this poor lebanese woman ended up getting soaked with filthy vegetable water but she was too terrified to complain. frank pointed at this old man with a cane and a traditional yoruba outfit and told me he was nigeria's ronaldo, though he didn't know how to play soccer on the way back we hit the goslow as expected. franco followed several cars over the median and drove in the opposing lane where the traffic was lighter. surya's mom was telling franco he was going to be in big trouble and he had better turn around right now. when she saw that we were going way past all those other suckers she changed her mind and told him to keep going. we had a good peugeot so it could jump the median but several other cars got stuck and people had to get out to push them back, so this started a goslow on the other side of the road. some other drivers tried to continue on the opposing side by attaching green leaves to their hoods, as is done in the case of a riot to show a car not involved in the riot please don't burn it. the police weren't fooled so they would issue a beating to drivers doing this then let them go on their wrong ways. the first verb i learned in yoruba was to beat. mo na e. i beat you. at some point there was a freshly killed capybara hung up on the side of the road, which no one could explain. franco said it's called a grasscutter here. we've got tickets for i want your wife
