Snake Cut

Anaconda asls knoon as Camoodie in Guyana

"Snake! Snake!” - The children scattered. The high octave warning would do that. It caused our eyes to dart left and right, hearts pumping loudly against eardrums as the adrenalin surged. That startling call was able to interrupt us even when we were making much louder noises with our calcium carbide-mixed-with-spittle and shaken-in-an Ovaltine tin bombs.

Henry Fitt. The last time I flew with him

Henry Fitt

Most of this is from an entry in a diary I kept when I was 17 - 19 in Guyana.

Sunday 1st Feb. 1981, Moblissa Dairy Farm, Soesdyke - Linden Highway. - I arrived at Moblissa Dairy Farm last Wednesday from Ebini Ranch via Georgetown. The 'Milk Truck', a monster tanker lorry that transports the farm’s milk to Georgetown was quite a ride. I’d left my previous training assignment at Ebini Ranch in the Intermediate Savannahs for Moblissa to continue training for management at the Livestock Development Company. My dream job, an entry level management position as a LIDCO Ranch Supervisor (assistant ranch manager).

During his time as a cowboy in the Amazon 4,000 of British Guiana’s 83,000 sq. miles were Dadanawa cattle range.
