Historical Kilimanjaro caves talk.

With big brother in town from abroad, yesterday evening we had this big family gathering at Jackys, ate fine roast goat and washed it down with booze. Talked of preserving historical caves in our Mamba Komakundi village, but as almost everyone was tipsy, no-one was so serious about the talk leading to any serious conclusion - even less so, a joint communique.

Next time I'll remember toting along my digicam to capture such times.

A typical week

<<>
Dar weather fine and dandy. Campaigning period for upcoming October 30 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, lots of parties colours driving up and down all over, claxons blaring at open grounds, TV and radio taken over.
Some stories in the local news:
- forceful eviction of some civilians from their quarters by soldiers.
- heists and carjackings
- threat of fuel prices even going higher due to american hurricanes.

Geniuses

A genius is a person who does what is complex-to-impossible for most other persons around them with ease without even noticing.
Geniuses come in all races, colors, religions.
A genius is usually in a particular area, sometimes quite narrow. sometimes wider.
"Genius" is not interchangeable with "talent".
Geniuses are a Godsend to our societies and world at large, meant to invent, correct, solve, teach.
Where accorded respect and appreciation they deserve, geniuses bring development and growth.
To some societies (said Africa) a genius is
- a threat to his superior's position
- a show-off
- his child whom the dumb teachers cannot make pass exams in flying colours
- a nut
- a fluke.
