Seb's Corner - African Blessings

There are many disadvantages to living in Africa.

Too mention a few: crime, wonga currency, idiot bureaucrats, degenerate health care, XDR-TB, racism, and so on.

But there are also a few advantages. For the last two days my kids have been swimming in the river. This would not otherwise count as remarkable if it were not for the fact it is the middle of winter. Sure, the water was cold and they squealed a bit. But the sun was shining and they spent an hour or so splashing around.

To this wintry sunny warmth we add wide open spaces,completely dysfunctional law enforcement, and voila! we have an African Blessing that American and Canadian toke growers would hand over their last baggy for.

Check out this guy - he's practicing horticulture inside his roof where the geyser is! Is that for the warmth or because he thinks the cops won't look there? How can you live your life like this, dude?

Get outta your shit hole and come to Africa!
