Returning one evening from a friend's home in Lobamba, my headlights failed. My turn signals, on the other hand, worked well enough. The road is not lit and at night it is pitch black, especially with a new moon. With the little light from the blinkers, I could still effortlessly see the broken center line on the asphalt road, and orienting myself accordingly, I drove home relatively slowly. Suddenly the line \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003estopped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003e and I bumped into a dark mass.

I must have collided with a bull (or a cow) which then took off quickly. The cattle in Swaziland usually have dark fur. They literally lie down on the roads at night because the asphalt holds the heat of the day's sun well while the earth cools faster.  The roads are not screened with fences that keep cattle off the road. During the day, you often see cattle walking or crossing such roads, but at night, therefore, this poses a danger. If the road is well lit with your \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003eheadlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003e you can judge this danger well, but if you have hardly any light you cannot.

This became The Pilot Story.

Originally, the series was called The Smoked Beef Series, named after a flavor variety of a local brand of potato chips: Simba!

Returning one evening from a friend's home in Lobamba, my headlights failed. My turn signals, on the other hand, worked well enough. The road is not lit and at night it is pitch black, especially with a new moon. With the little light from the blinkers, I could still effortlessly see the broken center line on the asphalt road, and orienting myself accordingly, I drove home relatively slowly. Suddenly the line \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003estopped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"18\"\u003e and I bumped into a dark mass.

I must have collided with a bull (or a cow) which then took off quickly. The cattle in Swaziland usually have dark fur. They literally lie down on the roads at night because the asphalt holds the heat of the day's sun well while the earth cools faster.  The roads are not screened with fences that keep cattle off the road. During the day, you often see cattle walking or crossing such roads, but at night, therefore, this poses a danger.
