September 9
My camera I fear has not made it through the dust storms, smoke, and sooo many rattling African truck trips unscathed. It works ok only in bright light it seems. Guess I’ve got a trip to the fix-it shop in my future.
While I was in South Africa the most accessible English language news station was Al Jazeera and with my eyes closed I wouldn’t be able to tell it from the BBC. I mention this now because I forgot when I was writing the South Africa story, and with 9/11 right around the corner I remembered, ahh, I wonder how Al Jazeera is going to cover the stories.
