The mid-summer traffic hell is expected by people from Los Angeles, California as a 10-mile section of the San Diego Freeway or I-405 will be closed to give way to road improvements. Most people expect the alternate routes to be a gridlock and most count this “carmageddon” a good reason to stay home over the weekend.

The affected segment of the freeway is considered to be the busiest road in the United States with vehicles of as much as 330,000 going thru Sepulveda Pass everyday. The 10-mile stretched will be closed to all traffics for 53 hours or from the night of July 15 to five in the morning of July 18.

It was on early December 2010 when I landed in Wilson airport in Kenya then I visited masaai mara, it was my best summer vacation ever.

I liked their culture so much and I was endorsed as one of the young maasai warriors called Moran through a circumcisions ceremony where young men pass from one stage to another stage of life, I had to be cut on my low belly with an initiators knife, while drinking a mixture of blood and milk .To proof you are a gentleman you had to stand still as the initiation was carried out.

I enjoyed that summer vacation eating wild fruits and bush meat, climbing mountain, hunting antelope, wild beest and coaching Maasai people basket ball.

It was a sight so out of this world that Im still getting flashes of the colour and vibrancy of the most amazing four hours of my life. Flashbacks of the fireworks exploding from the back of our float and wow, Id almost forgotten about the transvestite ballerinas!

Sit. Stay. Heel. Good dogs.

Sure, the commands are a bit contradictory, but under the circumstances these dogs seem to have handled it pretty well.

While you and your family are out and about this summer, dont forget your four-legged friends like the park, too. Most communities have dog parks and beaches where Fido and Rover can run, sniff and fetch until their tail is too tired to wag.

These pups are in Cirencester, England, but theres probably a dog park closer to you. Make the dog days of summer count and use your smartphone to find dog parks to visit on your travels this summer (dogs not included).
