Zimbabwe

As I was wasting time on Google Earth, taking the sightseers tour somewhere between Red Square and Vatican City I took a southern turn to Zimbabwe.<--Google Earth Link. Ever been there, neither have I. However, I must admit that it was much more civilized than I was led to believe by the TV people trying to bleed money from my kung fu grip. Cruising overhead I was able to make out soccer fields, golf courses, buildings big and small and many many homes. Of course the detail for the homes is limited by Google Earth, but still, blew me away and changed my perception of this third world country. This intrigued me to look up local news for Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe News Here the headlines are of a serious cholera outbreak. The local authorities spot check vehicles not for DUI but for produce. Concerns are all relative. Here in the states, our produce is generally disease free, consequently we are able to focus our authorities on the teenager with a bag of weed. Nice.
