I saw this pic on Pinterest the other day

https://za.pinterest.com/pin/1125968637521483/

and it states that this is a street scene from Bulawayo, my birthplace in Zimbabwe.

Actually it isn't. The street scene is from Gweru where I grew up and lived from 1967 to 1986. I recognize most of the buildings and the hill at the back of the pic is the hill which over looks the city.  Question Question

Funny thing, but for years, I thought my old job at The Times-Dispatch was in Hanover, but sometime in 2020 I was updating my resume' & found out it was technically in Mechanicsville, which is a town inside Hanover.....

Indeed: it was always nice to go to Bulawayo (Mom's brother lived there) and the shops there were better: more cinemas too.  Smile

Here's another idiot:

https://za.pinterest.com/pin/621567186061009352/

This person says that this theater is in Johannesburg: no, it was in Pretoria until it burned down in 1993.*

* I meant that the theater burned down, not Pretoria.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
