I’m Outta Here
Though I may get occasional text-only access, I’ll effectively be away from Internet access for the next month. So no blogging from me. I’ll be in Malawi (the missus does research there, so I’m following in tow, and will do a little research of my own). Not Maui, as a friend misheard — the two have a slightly different vibe. But to answer the most common question I get of “where is Malawi?”, see below, and for the curious-’n'-studious amongst you, here’s the CIA World Factbook’s page on Malawi.
The country has a population of about 14 million, is just a little smaller in size than Pennsylvania (though a very different shape), it’s often listed as the poorest country in the world, it’s a multiparty democracy that was once a British colony, the key languages are English and Chichewa, it should be a nice temperature this time of year, Lake Malawi is by all accounts a beautiful sight as are the nation’s many hippos at play, and though, as in Kentucky, tobacco is a key part of the economy and Dolly Parton is one of the most popular musicians (no, seriously), with only 2.7% of the population aged 65 or older and a median age of 16.8, unlike Kentucky there probably aren’t many Hillary voters there. I’ll be back in mid-July.
