Amusing clip, if one is not the homeowner!

I finally got around to looking up Phalaborwa on Google Maps. A 1900 km, 19 h drive from Cape Town (and I’m guessing that 100 km/h is optimistic). I see Kruger Park to the east, and lots of other green bits, but also vast mines to the south. Interesting.

How did you wind up there?

I was working in the lab for Prospecting Ventures, a geological
exploration outfit in the Anglo-American stable in Rhodesia, but was
retrenched in 1976 when they closed down because of the dangers of the
bush war at the time. I was very fortunate to find work at Foskor, a
phosphate mine & processing plant, in Phalaborwa at short notice and
have been here for 45 years. I suffered a second retrenchment (with many
others) for political reasons in 2001. Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, is a
mess & South Africa is rapidly going the same way.

Strangely, I have done it in sub-20 hours in both directions with 3
drivers for the Two Oceans Ultra-Marathon in CT. The speed limit on the
highways is 120km/h.

That same young bull elephant was right in a swimming pool at another
nearby house yesterday!

Alan  . since I am on facebook I was able to watch the vid... but i
don't go to facebook on firefox so I had to copy and paste the link into
my google page wehn I was already logged into Fb..  glad I did, that was
really fun!

glad Rick asked you the question about how you got where you are, too..

Is there a vid of the elephant actually bathing in that pool?

Only wild life here is mostly the human kind.  Although after Ashley's
departure in April it didn't take long before "Stuart LIttle" reappeared
, spotted
scurrying across my living room floor in midday...

I kept expecting, and dreading, that he would climb into that or another pool and be unable to get out…
You need a guard rabbit. I have one I could send you...
