I love all the pictures, brilliant images (especially the bright smiles) that made me feel like I was there myself. Thank you for the adventure into the federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. There is so much going on in this great big magnificent world.

I really am disappointed I wasn't able to get that shot of the warthog. That and the hippo have got to be the ugliest things around. And they both run SO FAST!

Sounds like you had a spectacular day of viewing amazing African wildlife. Taking photos of animals is difficult - they never want to cooperate I've found. I have seen a Serval cat at the zoo in Florida - they are so beautiful. I don't know if I would have felt too safe with that guide who would run off and leave you to face a hippo. Great shot of it by the way. At least you weren't running away!

:)

So why isn't Big Bird on that poll?

Have you moved on from the death penalty to plague, Jo?

How sweet

Thank you for commenting on this article. I'm glad it was useful :)

These look good :) I remember seeing the hungry hippos game around

Your welcome Tia :)

It may sound interesting but looking back it just seems like a mighty waste of time I coul have been spending with my family. I missed so much of the time my children were growing up.

Get your wallet out.

TMM - My advice - spread your writings about - and especially create websites that are your own - at least your writings are safe then.

Q1 - yes you can link to specific products and types of product.
Addendum - Viglink state that (at some time in the future) their algorithm will be able to link to a named product.
Q2 - Yes

Well thought out and reasoned article. Like any subject one can make a case for anything.

My one thought is that with the advent of the Drones bombing people remotely the effect on the operator is similar to the affect one can see with, for example, my grand-daughter. It is remote and unreal. I was Air Force and the only time I saw emotion in a pilot who had dropped bombs on humans from a height collapsed when he had to destroy some elephants that had walked into a mine field.

The humans were remote ~ the elephants were up close and personal. Drones and, I believe, War Games being used for training the operators, have made the killing and maiming even more remote.

I have the same reservations about Paint Ball games, not just War Games. Having seen the effects of firearms on human bodies, the killing urge exhibited by Paint Ball enthusiasts sickens me.
