My Prayer for Robert Mugabe

I pray that Robert Mugabe will go to heaven when he dies.

When he gets there he will see God welcoming the victims of Robert Mugabe's and ZANU-PF's violence and misrule. As God heals their wounds, physical, mental and psychological, He commends them on their courage, perseverance and faithfulness to truth and justice.

Then God will turn to Robert Mugabe and say, "Welcome Bob! Come on in. I forgive you and love you." Mugabe's past victims will join in saying, "We forgive you, too!"

And THAT will be hell for Robert Mugabe.

Deadly cobra missing from Bronx Zoo

Deadly cobra missing from Bronx Zoo

20 inch? We usually had 48 - 60 inch ones in Gweru and they were always slithering free. (The big ones didn't pay house calls, that's why none over 60 inches.)

Not to discount the danger of their venom, but to all this hype over a tiny tot in a zoo, I'll give a Bronx Cheer.

African Signs

One often encounters interesting signs in Africa. Below is one I saw in Voi, Kenya in the early 1970's. The shopkeeper couldn't understand why the wazungu were taking pictures.

Hwange Elephants

When wandering through the bush, one sometimes comes upon a solitary elephant. A quick survey of the area reveals no other elephants in the vicinity. However, if one quietly watches that lone elephant, he will suddenly become aware that he is now surrounded by elephants.

I've often wondered where those other elephants come from and why they were invisible before. Now I know the answer:

HIDDEN DOORS!

Alternative Transportation in Zimbabwe

With the shortages of fuel and other issues limiting the availability of transportation in Zimbabwe these days, perhaps folks should use the transport of choice of my daughter and her friends back in the '80s.

NOTE THE METHOD FOR STARTING THE TRANSPORT ENGINE.
