Swine Flu Scare!

Project in Mexico
Well, the 'Swine Flu Scare' did its job.  It scared off enough employers to have all U.S. Citizens working in Mexico at this specific project to be evacuated off of the Camp Site.  So Byron flew home a few weeks early from his termination date.  These two pictures show what the Dam looked like a week before he left.
Obviously the Swine Flu Outbreak didn't scare Byron.  While everyone is running from Pigs, Pork, Bacon, Mexico or anything having to do with Swine Flu... Byron is going directly after it.
We were driving on the road right outside of our house and saw these two baby boars.  Byron looked for the Mom but she was no where to be seen or heard.  Byron held up both of the babies hoping to call in the Mom but she wasn't anywhere.  The pigs were extremely skinny (you could practically feel their rib cage).  We brought both of them home.  We decided to feed them and set them on their way.  The black one ran off.  The brown one stayed.

And he's still outside always yelling at us for more bananas.  Everytime we leave, we think he'll leave just like his brother but he never does.  Instead, he greets us at the front door every morning and waits at the top of the hill when we come home at night.  Since he won't leave, we figure we'll find him a banana patch to live in or maybe give him to a pig farm.  But knowing how everyone thinks here in Hawaii, we know he'll eventually be turned into Kalua Pig.  Sad but true.
