On the road again

 

My wife and I are headed to Amarillo, where Alma Boykin has invited me to scare terrify enlighten her class about what Africa is really like, versus what their "woke" textbook portrays.  Needless to say, the latter bears little or no relationship to reality!

I'll be offline until Monday morning.  Amuse yourselves with the bloggers in my sidebar.

I (and probably we) would love it if you would post some of the highlights of what you tell her class.

I had a wonderful much older friend who had done extensive mission work and DOD work in much of Africa. He enlightened me on the acceptance of rape as a non-issue, murder, theft and risks there. And still many here look upon that very tribal continent as a country rather than the nations and tribes within it.

Say, the Big Texas Steak Ranch is in Amarillo, it was good fun watching someone eat the 72oz steak challenge.

You ought to tap Kim du Toit to go with you. Between the two of you, the kids would probably never believe anything the media wrote about that place for the rest of their lives,.

Safe travels. I know it's not possible, but wish you could record those lectures!

Don't forget adding Ian for a perspective a bit more north.
