Rafiki is friend in Swahili.I am a hunter named… you guessed it- Habib (“Habib” means “Friend” so I am a friend to all hunters).
My white Dodge Ram 3500 gets 24 MPG when I'm not towing...
Since I was 12 years old my parents taught me to always do what I thought was the right thing to do and never care for what the crowd thought. Being a middle child I have always been extremely independent. Due to this one of my high school friends said I was a “rare breed”. The name has stuck with me all my life so it seemed natural to use it as my AKA for AHAs I peruse those many threads on AH Forum that interest me, I often wonder about the story or meaning behind the handle or user names of the posters. Many are intuitive to me, but with others, I'd just be taking a wild guess. I've had the good fortune to get to know a select few on here really well and have their back stories, but for the rest, I'd love to hear how you got your name - please do share.
Ku-winda, by the way, is the name of Otto Koehler's Journal detailing his safari to Kenya and Tanganyika in the mid 50's. It means "to hunt" in Swahili and was the source and inspiration to many of us in South Texas and directly responsible for setting me on a path to adventures of my own on the Dark Continent.
